Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning continuous view of the Western Ghats and the lush coastal plains of Karnataka and Kerala.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Western Ghats

The majestic Sahyadri mountain range runs parallel to the flight path for most of the journey.

🏖️

Goa Coastline

Aerial views of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers and the vibrant beaches of Goa.

🌊

Netravati River

The wide estuary where the Netravati river joins the Arabian Sea near Mangalore.

🛶

Kerala Backwaters

The shimmering network of canals and Vembanad Lake visible as you approach Kochi.

🏙️

Trivandrum Cityscape

A view of the densely packed greenery and urban architecture of Kerala's capital during descent.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the Western Ghats. Post-monsoon months (September to November) offer the most vibrant green landscapes. Watch for the transition from the rugged Konkan terrain to the tropical Malabar coast.

Right Side Highlights
6.3
🌅

Arabian Sea Horizon

An uninterrupted view of the deep blue sea, perfect for meditation and sunset viewing.

🚢

Maritime Activity

Large tankers and fishing vessels are often visible near the ports of Mangalore and Kochi.

🏖️

Coastal Fringe

The thin white line of the Malabar coast meeting the sea is clearly visible on clear days.

The right side is best for evening departures (after 5:00 PM) to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. It provides a more tranquil, blue-toned view compared to the busy landscape on the left. During takeoff from Mumbai, this side often provides a brief view of the city's western coastline.
