About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Amritsar (ATQ)?
When landing at Amritsar (ATQ), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the standard runway 34 approach, aircraft come in from the south-southeast, and Amritsar's old city — including the Golden Temple complex — sits just off that flight path to the east. That puts the temple's gilded dome and the dense old-city rooftops on the right side of the plane during final approach. Notable sights include: Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) complex, Amritsar's old city core, Punjab's flat irrigated farmland patchwork, Ravi River floodplain in the distance.
