Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Calicut International Airport (Calicut)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous, breathtaking panorama of the Indian coastline, featuring the rugged Konkan cliffs, the golden beaches of Goa, and the serene estuaries of the Malabar coast.
Goan Coastline
Clear views of famous beaches like Calangute and Colva, contrasted against the Mandovi and Zuari rivers.
Mangalore Port
The industrial landscape of the New Mangalore Port and the Gurupura river mouth entering the sea.
Arabian Sea Horizon
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with merchant ships and fishing trawlers.
Malabar Shores
The transition to Kerala is marked by dense coconut groves and intricate backwater systems near the coast.
Book an 'A' seat on most Indian domestic aircraft for the best coastal views. For the most spectacular experience, take an evening flight to watch the sun set directly over the Arabian Sea. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive red soil of the Konkan region contrasting with the turquoise water.
Western Ghats Range
The majestic Sahyadri mountains run parallel to the flight path, showcasing dramatic ridges and peaks.
Koyna Reservoir
A massive, deep blue body of water located in the heart of the mountains in Maharashtra.
Dandeli Forest
Dense tropical canopy visible as you pass over the northern Karnataka border regions.
Belgaum Hinterland
Aerial views of the high-altitude plateau and agricultural patterns of interior Karnataka.
Sit on the left side during the monsoon season (June to September) to witness hundreds of temporary waterfalls cascading down the Western Ghats. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the mountain slopes, while late afternoon flights may cast long shadows over the valleys.
