Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more iconic sequence of landmarks, including the towering Nilgiri mountains, the sprawling Bandipur forest, and a clear view of the historic city of Mysore during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve

The dramatic rise of the Blue Mountains, with Ooty visible in the far distance on clear days.

🐅

Bandipur Tiger Reserve

Vast stretches of protected forestland bordering the Kerala-Karnataka-Tamil Nadu tri-junction.

🏰

Mysore Cityscape

A clear view of the historic city, including the prominent Chamundi Hills and the urban grid.

🌊

Cauvery River Basin

The winding path of the sacred Cauvery River and the lush agricultural plains of Mandya.

The right side is superior for landmarks. Look out for the Chamundi Hills about 15-20 minutes before landing. During monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of clouds cascading over the Nilgiri ridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Wayanad Highlands

Dense tropical forests and rugged peaks of the Western Ghats immediately after takeoff.

💧

Kabini Reservoir

The vast blue expanse of the Kabini backwaters, often surrounded by wildlife-rich banks.

🐘

Nagarhole National Park

A continuous canopy of deciduous forest that serves as a major elephant corridor.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Wayanad plateau and the water bodies of the Kabini region. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the eastern sun and to see the mist rising from the valley floors.
