Patina to Pune is 863 miles (1,389 km), a flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes.
While takeoff offers Ganges views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery with the Sahyadri Mountains clearly visible. The mountain range is a more striking geographic feature than the flat northern plains.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Deccan Plateau, passing over the Aurangabad region and Parbati River valley. The terrain transitions from the flat Indo-Gangetic Plain to increasingly elevated plateau landscape with scattered hills and agricultural areas. No major water bodies are crossed during the midpoint, but the landscape gradually becomes more undulating as the aircraft approaches the Western Ghats.
