Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the dramatic peaks of the Western Ghats (Sahyadri Range) and the shimmering waters of the Gulf of Khambhat during the descent into Gujarat.
Sahyadri Mountains
Breathtaking views of the Western Ghats, particularly lush and green during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.
Gulf of Khambhat
As you enter Gujarat airspace, the massive inlet of the Arabian Sea is visible, showcasing unique tidal patterns.
Mumbai Outer Limits
On a clear day, the western horizon reveals the dense urban sprawl and coastal line of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Dahej Industrial Zone
Visible near the coast, this is one of India's largest petrochemical hubs, identifiable by its massive storage tanks and jetties.
Koyna Reservoir
A glimpse of the large 'Shivajisagar' lake formed by the Koyna Dam nestled within the Maharashtra hills.
Book an evening flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea horizon. During the monsoon (June-September), this side offers incredible views of cloud formations over the mountains. Avoid seats over the wing for unobstructed views of the Gujarat coastline.
Bangalore Skyline
Excellent views of the northern suburbs of Bangalore and the growing tech parks immediately after takeoff from BLR.
Deccan Plateau
The vast, arid, and rocky landscape of the Deccan region provides a stark and beautiful geometric pattern from above.
Pune Urban Hub
The flight path often passes near Pune, offering a view of the city's rapid expansion and industrial corridors.
Godavari River Basin
Look for the winding paths of the upper Godavari river tributaries as they cut through the Maharashtra plains.
Sabarmati Riverfront
During the final approach into Ahmedabad, this side often provides a view of the developed riverfront and the city's cricket stadium.
Ideal for early morning flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Narmada and Tapi rivers as you cross from Maharashtra into Gujarat. The landing approach often circles the city, offering a great look at Ahmedabad's dense architecture.
