Which side of the plane to sit from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of geographical variety, including distant views of the Eastern Himalayas shortly after takeoff and the expansive landscapes of the Deccan Plateau during the journey south.
Eastern Himalayas
On clear days, look North-West shortly after takeoff to see the snowy peaks of the Kanchenjunga range.
Mahanadi River
Crossing over one of the largest river systems in east-central India with its wide riverbeds.
Eastern Ghats
Scenic views of the rugged, ancient hill ranges as the aircraft moves toward the South.
Hyderabad Skyline
Potential views of the modern urban developments and rocky terrain of the Deccan near the mid-point.
Nandi Hills
The famous hills near Bangalore become visible during the final descent into Kempegowda International.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunset views over the Indian interior. For the best chance to see the Himalayas, morning flights with clear post-monsoon skies (October to February) are highly recommended. Seat yourself away from the wings for the best panoramic views of the Deccan Plateau.
Brahmaputra Basin
Aerial perspective of the vast, braided river systems of Assam immediately after departure.
Bangladesh Borderlands
A view across the lush, green deltaic plains bordering the international boundary.
Chilika Lake
The massive expanse of Asia's largest brackish water lagoon visible as you transit the Odisha coast.
Visakhapatnam Port
Distant views of the busy shipping lanes and coastline of the Bay of Bengal.
Coromandel Coast
The urban sprawl and industrial corridors of coastal Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the many river systems and lagoons. It is particularly scenic during the monsoon when the landscape is vibrant green and the water bodies are at full capacity.
