Konkan Coastline
Glimpses of the Arabian Sea and the white-sand beaches tucked between rocky headlands.
Ghats Escarpment
Dramatic views of the Western Ghats' western face, featuring steep cliffs and deep valleys.
Koyna Reservoir
The deep blue waters of Shivajisagar Lake surrounded by dense protected forest reserves.
Malnad Forests
Dense tropical evergreen forest canopy covering the hilly terrain of southern Karnataka.
Nilgiri Mountains
The majestic 'Blue Mountains' and the Ooty region visible as the flight descends into Coimbatore.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea. As you approach Coimbatore, the plane often tracks along the edge of the Nilgiris; keep your camera ready for the transition from the mountains to the Noyyal River basin. Monsoon season (June-September) offers incredibly lush, green views and numerous seasonal waterfalls along the cliffs.
