Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Western Ghats mountain range and the shimmering Arabian Sea coastline during the final approach into Kochi.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Nilgiri Biosphere

Lush green vistas of the Nilgiri mountains, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Western Ghats.

🏔️

Western Ghats Ridges

Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks and mist-covered valleys that separate the Deccan Plateau from the coast.

🌊

Malabar Coast

As the plane descends, the deep blue of the Arabian Sea becomes visible against the white sandy beaches.

☀️

Cochin Solar Farm

A unique aerial view of the massive solar panel installation at Cochin International, the world's first fully solar-powered airport.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Ensure you are looking out during the last 15 minutes of the flight for the best mountain and coastal views.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bangalore Skyline

A sprawling view of the IT hubs and the dense urban landscape of Southern Bangalore shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Palakkad Gap

A massive low mountain pass in the Western Ghats between the Nilgiri Hills to the north and Anaimalai Hills to the south.

🛶

Inland Backwaters

Views of the complex network of lagoons and canals that define the interior of the Kerala landscape.

🧱

Traditional Architecture

The characteristic red-tiled rooftops of Kerala houses peeking through the dense coconut groves.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for observing the distinct break in the mountain ranges at the Palakkad Gap during the mid-flight cruise.
