Kolkata Cityscape
Aerial views of the Hooghly River and the dense urban sprawl of the West Bengal capital shortly after takeoff.
Mahanadi River Delta
The intricate network of distributaries and lush green paddy fields of Odisha's largest river system.
Chilika Lake
The stunning sight of Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, easily identifiable by its unique shape and many small islands.
Eastern Ghats
Rolling hills and forested ridges that begin to parallel the coast as you enter Andhra Pradesh.
Vizag Industrial Belt
On final approach, view the steel plants and industrial landscape of northern Vishakhapatnam.
Sit on the right for the best geographical variety. Chilika Lake is the highlight of this route; it usually appears about 35-45 minutes into the flight. For the clearest views of the Eastern Ghats, afternoon flights are preferred as the sun illuminates the hills from the west, reducing haze. During the monsoon (June-September), look for dramatic cloud formations over the hills.

Bay of Bengal Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue waters stretching toward the horizon.
Maritime Morning Glow
On early morning flights, witness the sun reflecting off the sea surface.
Shipping Corridors
Occasional sightings of large cargo vessels and fishing boats near Paradip and Vizag ports.
Coastal Fringes
Distal views of the breaking waves along the Odisha and Andhra coastlines.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you enjoy the sun rising over the ocean. It offers a calm, meditative view but lacks the geographic variety found on the opposite side. Keep an eye out for the shimmering reflection of the sun on the water, which can be quite blinding but beautiful.
