Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport (Indore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Nandi Hills shortly after takeoff and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Narmada River and Indore's urban expansion during the final approach.
Nandi Hills
A spectacular aerial view of the famous Nandi Hills and its surrounding greenery immediately after lifting off from BLR.
Narmada River
The wide and sacred Narmada River is visible in its full glory during the descent phase into the Indore region.
Indore Cityscape
A clear view of the growing Indore metropolis, including the distinct contrast between old city density and new developments.
Patalpani Valley
Rugged terrain and seasonal waterfalls near the Mhow region are often visible during the final landing pattern.
The right side is best for morning departures to see Nandi Hills illuminated by the rising sun. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, look out for the massive Narmada River; it is the primary landmark indicating you are entering the Malwa region. For the best photography of Indore city, a window seat behind the wing is recommended to avoid engine heat haze.
Deccan Plateau
Expansive views of the golden-brown Deccan Plateau featuring unique rock formations and rural agricultural patterns.
Godavari River
A scenic crossing of the winding Godavari River as the aircraft traverses the Marathwada region of Maharashtra.
Vindhya Foothills
The rising elevations of the Vindhya range become visible as the flight transitions from the Deccan into the Malwa plateau.
Sunset Horizons
On evening flights, this side offers unobstructed views of the setting sun over the western plains.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. During the monsoon season (June–September), this side provides a stunning view of the lush, transformed green landscape of rural Maharashtra. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Godavari river crossing.
