HYD → BLR
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic landmarks, including the high-rises of Hyderabad on departure and a clear view of the Nandi Hills during the descent into Bangalore.
Hyderabad Skyline
Catch a panoramic view of the Hitech City and Gachibowli skyscrapers if the flight curves westward.
Anantapur Boulders
Marvel at the ancient, massive granite boulder formations that dominate the landscape near Anantapur.
Western Horizon
Enjoy spectacular orange and purple hues over the horizon during late afternoon or evening flights.
Nandi Hills
See the famous hill fortress and plateau rising sharply from the plains about 15 minutes before landing.
Bangalore Cityscape
On clear days, the dense city center and various tech parks are visible during the final approach pattern.
The right side is the best choice for evening flights to catch the sunset. Keep your camera ready for Nandi Hills during the descent. If landing on Runway 09L, this side offers the most proximity to the city's landmarks.
Hyderabad Fringe
View the expanding urban sprawl of southern Hyderabad and the ORR immediately after takeoff.
Krishna River Basin
Spot the winding segments of the Krishna River as it cuts through the Deccan Plateau.
Nallamala Foothills
Glimpse the rugged, green-tinged ridges of the Eastern Ghats in the far distance.
Deccan Farmland
Observe the intricate patchwork of red-soil agricultural fields and small village clusters.
Devanahalli Hub
See the rapid industrial and residential development surrounding the Bangalore airport area.
Sit ahead of the wing for the clearest view. This side is preferred for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare and is particularly scenic during the monsoon when the plateau turns vibrant green.
