Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bombay to Indore. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic geography: the Sahyadri escarpment during departure and the Narmada River valley approach during descent. The flight path itself crosses the Western Ghats and Malwa Plateau, both better appreciated from the right side given typical runway orientations.

During takeoff from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM), sit on the Right side for the best views. BOM typically departs eastbound (Runway 09 or similar). Right-side seats face toward the Sahyadri Range and inland plateau as you climb, while left seats look back over the Arabian Sea and western suburbs. The inland view captures more dramatic topography. Notable sights include: Arabian Sea (immediate west), Mumbai suburban sprawl (Navi Mumbai visible south), Sahyadri Western Ghats escarpment (eastern horizon during climb), Thane Creek and mangrove areas (southeast).

When landing at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar (IDR), sit on the Left side for the best views. IDR approaches from the west (Runway 28 typical). Left-side seats face the Narmada River valley and the approach path over Indore's surrounding plateau terrain. Right seats would see less distinctive features during descent into the city. Notable sights include: Narmada River valley (broad, meandering watercourse west-southwest of airport), Indore city grid (visible from 8,000-10,000 feet), Malwa Plateau (elevated terrain surrounding the airport), Yeshwant Stadium and urban landmarks (identifiable at lower altitudes).

The flight from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM) to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar (IDR) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Sahyadri Range's eastern escarpment (around 73.5°E), then traverses the Deccan Plateau with scattered towns and agricultural land. The Narmada River valley becomes visible around 75.2°E as you approach Indore. Elevation gain from sea level (BOM) to 550 meters (IDR) is gradual and visible as terrain rises throughout the flight.
