Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Belgaum Airport (Belgaum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more iconic set of landmarks, including an excellent view of Nandi Hills shortly after takeoff and the massive wind farm clusters near Chitradurga.
Nandi Hills
A stunning close-up of the famous Nandi Hills and Skandagiri peaks just minutes after taking off from BLR.
Chitradurga Wind Farms
Vast arrays of white wind turbines dotting the rocky hills of the Deccan Plateau near Chitradurga.
Chitradurga Fort
The historic 'Stone Fortress' (Yezhu Suthina Kote) visible as a geometric stone pattern on the landscape.
Tungabhadra River
The winding path of the Tungabhadra River and its associated irrigation canals crossing the dry plains.
Malaprabha Reservoir
The blue expanse of the Navilatirtha Dam reservoir visible during the final approach into Belgaum.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, illuminating the rocky terrain of Chitradurga and the Nandi Hills perfectly. Ensure you have your camera ready immediately after takeoff as Nandi Hills appears very quickly.
Bangalore Suburbs
Aerial view of North Bangalore's rapid urban expansion and the Hebbal flyover network during the initial climb.
Tumakuru Industrial Hub
The sprawling industrial landscapes and the distinctive Vasanthanarasapura industrial area.
Western Ghats Fringe
The silhouette of the Western Ghats mountain range appearing on the horizon as the flight moves northwest.
Hubli-Dharwad View
Visuals of the twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad as the aircraft begins its gradual descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is excellent for observing the transition from the concrete jungle of Bangalore to the lush green foothills of the Ghats. Keep an eye out for the Vani Vilas Sagara Dam in the distance mid-flight.
