Ramanagara Hills
Massive granite monoliths and rocky outcrops famous as the 'Sholay' filming location.
Nilgiri Mountains
The breathtaking 'Blue Mountains' rising sharply from the plains as you approach Coimbatore.
Bhavani Sagar Dam
A massive reservoir located at the foot of the Nilgiri hills, often visible during the descent.
Western Ghats
The lush, green ridge-lines that mark the transition from the plateau to the coastal gaps.
The right side is superior for evening flights as the setting sun illuminates the Western Ghats. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the Nilgiri range dominates the horizon. Seasonal travel after the monsoon (September-November) provides the most vibrant green views of the mountain slopes.

Choose a morning flight to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. While less mountainous than the right side, the left offers the best view of the winding Kaveri River as the flight progresses south.
