Which side of the plane to sit from Dabolim Airport (Goa) to Pune Airport (Pune)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Western Ghats (Sahyadri Range), including lush plateaus, deep valleys, and historic hill forts as the plane turns inland toward Pune.

Sahyadri Range
The majestic Western Ghats stretching infinitely, featuring steep cliffs and high-altitude plateaus.
Koyna Reservoir
The massive Shivsagar Lake formed by the Koyna Dam, appearing like a turquoise jewel in the mountains.
Sinhagad Fort
A prominent historical hilltop fort often visible during the final descent into Pune.
Pune Urban Sprawl
A comprehensive view of the rapidly expanding cityscape of Pune and the Mula-Mutha river.
The Right Side is unbeatable during and immediately after the Monsoon (July-October) when the mountains turn vibrant green with countless waterfalls. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Ghats. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Mahabaleshwar region for peak scenic beauty.

Goa Coastline
Aerial views of Miramar, Dona Paula, and the Mandovi River as you climb away from Dabolim.
Arabian Sea
A vast blue horizon with the rugged Konkan coastline visible during the first half of the flight.
Sindhudurg Fort
If the flight path hugs the coast, look for the historic island fortress near Malvan.
Ratnagiri Port
Distinctive coastal geography including the lighthouse and the shipping activities at the port.
Sit on the Left Side if you prefer sunset views over the ocean for evening flights. For morning flights, the lighting on the coastline is crisp. Request a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the coastal details.
