GAUBLR

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

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.
