The Himalayan foothills are not typically visible on this direct SIN-DEL route since the flight path stays well south of the range, so the left side's advantage comes mainly from the Delhi approach over the Yamuna and city grid, plus glimpses of the Bay of Bengal coastline and Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta region earlier in the flight, giving it more visual variety overall than the right side's largely featureless landmass crossing.
Flight Path
