Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Mangalore International Airport (Mangalore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is generally superior as it offers a more expansive view of the Netravati River delta and the lush southern ridges of the Western Ghats during the descent into Mangalore.

South Bangalore View
Aerial perspective of the sprawling urban landscapes and green pockets of southern Bangalore shortly after takeoff.
Sahyadri Ridges
Dramatic views of the Western Ghats mountain range with its deep valleys and mist-covered peaks.
Netravati River Delta
A stunning view of the river winding its way through the coastal plains towards the Arabian Sea.
Mangalore Coastline
The golden beaches and palm-fringed shoreline of the Karnataka coast visible during the final approach.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for the most unobstructed views of the river valley. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, perfectly lighting the lush green hills of the Ghats. During the monsoon season, this side is incredible for spotting temporary waterfalls on the mountain slopes.

Deccan Plateau
The rugged, rocky terrain and agricultural patterns of the interior Karnataka plateau during the cruise phase.
Kudremukh Foothills
Distant views of the northern Sahyadri peaks, including the famous horse-faced Kudremukh range on clear days.
Tabletop Runway
A unique perspective of the iconic tabletop airport design of IXE as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Tropical Canopy
Dense coconut and areca nut plantations that create a vibrant green carpet across the coastal belt.
This side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers the best view of the tabletop runway's unique geography if the flight approaches from the north. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Ghats to capture the sudden transition from dry plateau to tropical forest.
