Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Pune Airport (Pune)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, particularly during the descent into Pune, where the rugged peaks and deep valleys of the Western Ghats (Sahyadri Range) become clearly visible.

Western Ghats
Breathtaking views of the Sahyadri mountain range as the aircraft begins its descent into the Maharashtra region.
Krishna River Basin
Aerial perspective of the winding Krishna River and its tributaries cutting through the Deccan Plateau.
Sunset Horizon
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the distant Arabian Sea coastline.
Deccan Topography
Distinctive basalt rock formations and the vast, semi-arid agricultural landscape of Northern Karnataka.
For the best experience, book an evening flight to catch the sun setting over the Ghats. During the monsoon (June-September), this side offers views of incredibly lush green mountains and seasonal waterfalls as you approach Pune. Sit slightly ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the terrain transitions.

Bangalore North
Excellent views of the Hebbal area and the sprawling northern suburbs of Bangalore immediately after takeoff.
Ujjani Reservoir
The massive backwaters of the Bhima River, often visible as a shimmering blue expanse in the Maharashtra plains.
Pune Urban Sprawl
A detailed look at the dense urban layout of eastern Pune and the industrial hubs near the airport during final approach.
Morning Radiance
Early morning flights benefit from soft light illuminating the Deccan plains without the harsh glare found on the opposite side.
The right side is ideal for morning travelers who want to see the geographical layout of Pune city before landing. Keep an eye out for the Ujjani Dam's reservoir, which is a significant landmark mid-flight. During the winter months, look for early morning mist settling in the valleys of the plateau, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect.
