Which side of the plane to sit from Calicut International Airport (Calicut) to Coimbatore International Airport (Coimbatore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular view of the towering Nilgiri Mountains and the lush greenery of the Silent Valley National Park during the short transit across the Western Ghats.
Nilgiri Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Blue Mountains' rising sharply from the plains as you approach Coimbatore.
Silent Valley
Aerial perspective of one of the last undisturbed tracts of South Indian tropical moist evergreen forest.
Nilambur Teak Forests
The world-famous teak plantations of Nilambur visible shortly after take-off from Calicut.
Coimbatore Skyline
A clear view of the expanding industrial city and the Gandhipuram area during the final descent.
Book a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the mountain ridges. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the heavy mist and clouds that often accumulate around the Nilgiris by mid-afternoon.
Palakkad Gap
A unique geological break in the Western Ghats, providing a major pass between Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Bharathapuzha River
Views of the Nila River winding through the landscape toward the Arabian Sea.
Anaimalai Hills
Distances views of the 'Elephant Hills' and the Parambikulam Tiger Reserve region to the south.
Walayar Pass
The scenic rail and road route connecting the two states through the forest-clad valley.
The right side is excellent for observing the unique topography of the Palakkad Gap. During the monsoon season (JuneโAugust), this side offers views of numerous seasonal waterfalls cascading down the southern hills.
