Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged Western Ghats mountain range and the lush greenery of the Sahyadri ridges as the plane traverses south toward Hubli.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Konkan Coastline

Occasional glimpses of the Arabian Sea and the white surf of the Konkan beaches shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Ghats Escarpments

Dramatic views of the sharp drop-offs and jagged peaks that define the Sahyadri mountain range.

🍃

Koyna Sanctuary Area

Fly over the dense forest canopy and protected biodiversity hotspots of the mountain zones.

🏞️

Panchgani & Mahabaleshwar

Look for the high-altitude volcanic plateaus and hill stations visible in the distance to the west.

🏘️

Hubli-Dharwad Landscape

The undulating, hilly terrain and red soil characteristic of the twin cities as you approach for landing.

The right side is the prime choice for seeing the iconic geological formations of the Deccan Traps. During the monsoon season (June-September), you can often spot hundreds of seasonal waterfalls cascading down the mountainsides from this window. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Mumbai Skyline

Catch a view of the dense urban sprawl and tall residential towers of Navi Mumbai and the eastern suburbs.

🏗️

JNPT Port

Aerial view of India's premier container port and the industrial infrastructure of the Uran peninsula.

⛰️

Inland Sahyadri Slopes

The gentler eastern slopes of the Western Ghats transitioning into the vast Deccan Plateau.

💧

Krishna River Tributaries

Winding silver threads of river systems that nourish the agricultural heartland of Maharashtra.

🚜

Deccan Farmlands

A beautiful patchwork of multi-colored agricultural fields as the aircraft descends into Northern Karnataka.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a better view of the industrial and urban transition from Mumbai's outskirts into the rural interior. It is particularly striking just after the monsoon when the entire plateau is a vibrant green.
