Chilika Lake
The largest coastal lagoon in India, visible as a massive blue expanse shortly after departing from Bhubaneswar.
Eastern Ghats
Dramatic views of the rugged, green-cloaked mountain ranges as the flight crosses into Andhra Pradesh.
Godavari River
A stunning aerial perspective of the wide, winding Godavari River near Rajahmundry.
Coastal Plains
The fertile, vibrant green patchwork of paddy fields that characterize the Andhra coastline.
Kolleru Lake
Depending on the flight path, a glimpse of one of India's largest freshwater lakes may be visible further south.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of takeoff for the best views of Chilika Lake. During monsoon (July-Sept), the landscapes are exceptionally green, though cloud cover may be heavy.
