Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the dramatic Western Ghats escarpments and the vast Arabian Sea as the aircraft aligns for its approach into Mumbai.
Western Ghats
Uninterrupted views of the Sahyadri mountain range, featuring steep cliffs and lush green peaks particularly vibrant during the monsoon.
Konkan Coastline
As the plane descends, you can see the intricate network of estuaries and the shimmering coastline along the Arabian Sea.
Arabian Sea Sunset
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the ocean horizon.
South Mumbai View
Depending on the wind-dependent flight path, you may spot the iconic curve of Marine Drive and the Gateway of India.
Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. During the monsoon (June-September), the Ghats are incredibly green and often shrouded in mystical clouds. For evening flights, the glare can be strong until the sun starts to set, making polarized sunglasses a great asset for photography.
Deccan Plateau
Aerial view of the vast, high-altitude plateau with its distinctive red soil and geometric agricultural patterns.
Tungabhadra Basin
Sightings of the winding river systems and reservoirs that dot the landscape between Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare glimpse of the massive green lung located right in the middle of Mumbai's urban sprawl during descent.
Navi Mumbai Development
Clear views of the new Atal Setu (MTHL) bridge and the rapid industrial expansion of the Navi Mumbai region.
Select an 'F' seat if you are interested in urban planning and city density. The right side is particularly interesting during the final 10 minutes of the flight when the plane flies over the heart of Mumbai's suburbs, offering a clear view of the contrast between high-rises and dense residential clusters.
