🛬 Landing at Ahmedabad (AMD)

Best sideRight
WhyLanding on runway 23 means the final approach comes in from the northeast, so the right side of the aircraft faces north/northwest during descent. That's where the Sabarmati River bends past Motera and the huge bowl of Narendra Modi Stadium (the world's largest cricket ground) sits right along the bank, with Gandhinagar's outskirts visible further out on clear days. The left side mostly looks over flat farmland with fewer distinguishing features.
