Malabar Coastline
A continuous stretch of golden sands and the turquoise Arabian Sea.
Ponnani Estuary
The dramatic confluence where the Bharathappuzha river meets the Arabian Sea.
Vembanad Backwaters
The northern reaches of Kerala's famous lagoon system visible during the descent.
Kochi Port and Ships
Large cargo vessels and tankers waiting near the mouth of the Kochi harbor.
Kochi Airport Solar Farm
The world's first fully solar-powered airport's massive panel array on final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the ocean. As the flight is very short and at a low cruising altitude, keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff. Watch for the change in water color at the river mouths.

Western Ghats
Distant views of the lush mountain range and Nilgiri peaks forming the eastern border.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare from the west. During the monsoon (June-September), the landscape is incredibly vibrant, though cloud cover is frequent. Look for the mist-covered peaks on clear winter mornings.
