Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for coastal features, including the massive Chilika Lake and the intricate river deltas of the Odisha coast, combined with the rugged textures of the Eastern Ghats.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Hooghly River

Aerial view of the winding Hooghly River and the industrial belts of suburban Kolkata shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Chilika Lake

The largest brackish water lagoon in India, appearing as a massive blue expanse bordered by the Bay of Bengal.

🌾

Mahanadi Delta

Intricate patterns of river distributaries and lush green paddy fields near Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.

⛰️

Eastern Ghats

Rolling hills and dense forest cover of the mountain range as the flight crosses from Odisha into Andhra Pradesh/Telangana.

🏙️

Hyderabad Approach

Views of the sprawling IT corridors and the geometric patterns of the Outer Ring Road during the final descent.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating Chilika Lake and the coastline perfectly. This side is particularly scenic during the post-monsoon months (October-December) when the landscape is vibrantly green.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Kolkata Cityscape

A dense urban view of central Kolkata, including the iconic Howrah Bridge if the flight path curves west early.

Godavari River

The massive expanse of the Godavari River as it flows through the inland plains toward the coast.

🏜️

Deccan Plateau

The unique, arid landscape of the Deccan with its characteristic rocky outcrops and red soil.

Hussain Sagar Lake

The heart-shaped lake in the center of Hyderabad may be visible if the aircraft approaches from the north.

✈️

RGIA Aerotropolis

A clear view of the massive Rajiv Gandhi International Airport complex and its solar farm on the final approach.

Select this side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Deccan Plateau. During the descent, keep an eye out for the historic Golconda Fort and the modern high-rises of Gachibowli, which are often visible when landing from the east.
