Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Hubli Airport (Hubli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Tungabhadra Reservoir and the iconic windmill-covered hills of Chitradurga, providing high-contrast landmarks against the Deccan landscape.
Chitradurga Wind Farms
Thousands of white wind turbines dotting the rocky hills, a striking example of renewable energy infrastructure.
Tungabhadra Reservoir
A massive expanse of blue water visible near Hospet, serving as the largest landmark on this route.
Davanagere Cityscape
A clear aerial view of the geometric urban sprawl of central Karnataka's major hub.
Deccan Agricultural Mosaic
The distinct patch-work patterns of red soil and green crops typical of the north Karnataka plains.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photography. Watch for the Tungabhadra Dam roughly 25-30 minutes into the flight, which is the highlight of the trip.
Malnad Foothills
The transition from the dry plateau to the lush, forested hills of the Malnad region.
Bhadra River
Glittering views of the river systems near Shimoga as they snake through the landscape.
Western Ghats Horizon
On clear days, the silhouette of the Western Ghats range is visible in the distance to the west.
Select the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the distant mountains. During the monsoon season (June–September), this side offers incredible views of localized rain clouds and misty valleys.
