What does the Srinagar to Hyderabad flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the Deccan Plateau southbound. Notable features include the Ajanta Range (low hills, visible around 1 hour into flight on the left/west side), the Godavari River valley system (visible as a green corridor cutting through the plateau), and the transition from the wetter Western Ghats foothills to the drier Deccan interior. The plateau itself is relatively featureless at altitude—mostly agricultural land, scattered lakes (tanks), and small towns. No major mountain ranges are crossed; the flight stays over plateau terrain throughout.
