BLR → LKO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the shifting Indian landscape, from the rugged Eastern Ghats to the vast river systems of the Godavari and the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains. On exceptionally clear days during the descent into Lucknow, passengers may even catch a glimpse of the distant Himalayan peaks to the north.

Eastern Ghats
Aerial views of the fragmented and weathered mountain range running parallel to India's east coast.
Godavari River Basin
Marvel at the massive breadth of the Godavari river as it snakes through the Telangana and Andhra border regions.
Vindhya Escarpments
Ancient geological formations that traditionally mark the boundary between Northern and Southern India.
Prayagraj Sangam
If the flight path takes a slightly eastern corridor, you can spot the holy confluence of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear winter days, the snow-capped peaks of the Nepal Himalayas may be visible in the far distance during the approach to LKO.
Choose the right side for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Deccan Plateau. This side is significantly better for spotting the major river confluences of the north. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the transition from the dry central plains to the lush greenery of Uttar Pradesh is visually stunning.

Nandi Hills
Shortly after takeoff from BLR, view the popular hill fortress and trekking destination nestled in the Chikkaballapur district.
Deccan Traps
Observe the unique basaltic step-like formations and black soil regions characteristic of the central Indian plateau.
Satpura Range
Dramatic views of the central Indian highlands with deep valleys and dense forest cover as you cross into Madhya Pradesh.
Narmada River
A clear view of one of India's major westward-flowing rivers cutting through the marble rocks and gorges.
Kanpur Industrial Belt
As the flight begins its descent, the sprawling industrial landscape and leather tanneries of Kanpur become visible.
The left side is ideal for mid-morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides an excellent vantage point for the rugged topography of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. During evening flights, you may experience a beautiful sunset over the horizon, but be prepared for high cabin temperatures from direct sunlight.
