The Yamuna River becomes prominent on the left as you approach from the south, and the Aravalli Hills form a distinctive backdrop to the west. These features frame the final approach corridor clearly. Notable sights include: Yamuna River (meandering through Delhi on the left), Aravalli Hills to the west, Delhi Ridge forest patches, Indira Gandhi International Airport runways and taxiways.

The flight from Pune (PNQ) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path runs north-northeast from Pune across the Deccan Plateau. Notable features include the Godavari River basin (visible around 45 minutes into flight), the transition from Western Ghats terrain to flatter plateau, and the gradual appearance of the Aravalli Hills on the western horizon as you approach Delhi. The landscape shifts from forested escarpment to agricultural plains to semi-arid plateau with scattered settlements.
