Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Nilgiri Mountains and the massive Stanley Reservoir (Mettur Dam), which are the geographic highlights of this short regional hop.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Nilgiri Mountain Range

Aerial views of the blue mountains and the eastern edges of the Western Ghats shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Stanley Reservoir

The vast expanse of the Mettur Dam on the Kaveri River, one of India's largest stone masonry dams.

🌳

Biligiriranga Hills

Dense forest canopy of the BR Hills wildlife sanctuary visible during the mid-flight cruise.

⛰️

Nandi Hills

The famous ancient hill fortress located north of Bangalore, visible if the flight approaches BLR from the north.

Book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Western Ghats. The Mettur Dam is best spotted about 15-20 minutes into the flight. If the aircraft lands from the north, you will get a clear view of the Devanahalli area and Nandi Hills.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
💧

Bhavani River

Follow the winding path of the Bhavani river as it flows through the plains of western Tamil Nadu.

🏭

Industrial Hubs

Aerial perspectives of the textile corridors of Tiruppur and the manufacturing zones around Erode.

🏙️

Bangalore Skyline

A panoramic view of the 'Silicon Valley of India' including Electronic City and the central business district during descent.

💧

Krishnagiri Reservoir

The scenic waters of the Krishnagiri Dam nestled among the rocky granite hills of the Deccan Plateau.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side to avoid the harsh afternoon glare. This side is better for observing the rapid urban expansion of Bangalore and the industrial landscape of the Kongu region. Keep an eye out for the distinctive rocky outcrops typical of the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border.
