Mopa to Delhi is 909 miles (1,463 km), a flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes.
While the takeoff offers dramatic Western Ghats scenery on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more sustained and varied views—the Yamuna River, Delhi's extensive urban landscape, and the Aravalli Hills create a more visually interesting descent than the northern flight path offers.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Deccan Plateau interior, passing over central Maharashtra and northern Madhya Pradesh. Notable features include the Satpura Range (visible as low mountain ridges in the midpoint of the journey), scattered agricultural plains, and the Narmada River valley. The landscape transitions from coastal Western Ghats terrain to drier plateau and then to the Indo-Gangetic Plain as the aircraft approaches Delhi. The Chambal River valley may be visible in the final approach phase. No major cities are directly on the typical flight path, but Aurangabad and Indore lie to the east of the route.
