Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a stunning panorama of the Al Hajar Mountains during the descent into Muscat and offers a better view of the northern Western Ghats and the Goa coastline shortly after takeoff from Bangalore.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Nandi Hills

Early views of the ancient hill fortress and popular trekking spot located just north of the airport.

🌴

Western Ghats

The lush green peaks of the Sahyadri range, particularly beautiful during the monsoon season.

🏖️

Goa Shoreline

Distant but visible views of the famous beaches and river estuaries of the Goa region.

🏔️

Al Hajar Mountains

The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Omani mountain range which turn shades of purple and gold in the light.

🏙️

Muscat Cityscape

A unique view of the white-washed buildings of Muscat and the Mutrah Corniche during the final approach.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight of this route is the Al Hajar mountain range; start looking out approximately 30 minutes before landing for the most rugged terrain.

Left Side Highlights
6.7
🏙️

Bangalore Urban Sprawl

A bird's eye view of the rapidly expanding electronic city and the southern outskirts of Bangalore.

🏖️

Karnataka Coastline

Clear views of the Mangalore and Udupi shores as the flight departs the Indian landmass.

🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

The vast expanse of the deep blue Arabian Sea, often dotted with cargo ships on international shipping lanes.

🏜️

Omani Coastal Cliffs

The rugged and arid limestone cliffs of the eastern Omani coast as you approach the peninsula.

The left side is preferable for evening flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. However, during the approach to Muscat, this side often faces the open sea rather than the dramatic mountain scenery.
