Pune to Jaipur is 582 miles (937 km), a flight of about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Right-side seats capture the Sahyadri Mountains during takeoff climb, which is the most visually dramatic segment. While left seats offer Aravalli views during landing, the Sahyadri escarpment during the initial climb provides more sustained and impressive scenery.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses from the Western Ghats plateau region into the Deccan plateau, passing over the Ahmednagar district. Notable features include the transition from forested Western Ghats terrain to drier, flatter agricultural plains. The Godavari River basin lies to the east of the direct flight path. As you progress northeast toward Jaipur, the landscape becomes increasingly arid with sparse vegetation. The Aravalli Mountains become visible approximately 30 minutes before landing, appearing as a low mountain range on the left (west) side of the approach.
