Nilgiri Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Blue Mountains' including Doddabetta peak if the flight path stays slightly west.
Palakkad Gap
A massive 30km wide break in the Western Ghats that serves as a major geographical corridor.
Munnar & High Ranges
Aerial views of the tea-carpeted slopes of the Anaimalai Hills and Eravikulam National Park.
Kerala Backwaters
Glittering views of the Vembanad lake and the intricate network of canals as the plane nears the coast.
Arabian Sea Coast
A majestic view of the coastline and the blue waters of the Arabian Sea during the curved approach to TRV.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the ocean. Sit behind the wing to capture the contrast of the green Ghats against the blue sea. During monsoon (June-Sept), watch for the dramatic cloud formations hitting the mountains. Most TRV landings approach from the sea, making the right side ideal for beach and harbor views just before touchdown.
Book Hotels in Trivandrum
Deccan Plateau
Expansive views of the rustic agricultural landscape and small reservoirs typical of southern Karnataka.
Palani Hills
Distant views of the Kodaikanal range and the rugged eastern slopes of the Western Ghats.
Neyyar Dam Reservoir
As the plane descends, you can often spot the blue waters of the Neyyar reservoir nestled in the foothills.
Agasthyamala Biosphere
Lush, dense evergreen forests of the southern-most tip of the Ghats as you enter Kerala airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly good for seeing the inland topography and the shadow of the mountains falling over the plains during late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the distinct red soil and green patchworks of rural Tamil Nadu before crossing the border into Kerala.
