HYDGOI

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is marginally superior because it offers a direct view of the Mormugao Port and the wide Zuari River estuary during the final descent into Dabolim Airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Hyderabad Outskirts

Clear views of the Shamshabad area and the Himayat Sagar reservoir shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Deccan Plains

The rugged, rustic landscape of the Deccan Plateau stretching across Telangana and Karnataka.

🏞️

Western Ghats

A dramatic transition from dry plains to the lush, dense green canopy of the Sahyadri mountains.

🌊

Zuari River

The expansive blue waters of the Zuari estuary as the aircraft aligns for the runway.

🚢

Mormugao Port

Aerial view of the industrial shipping hub and docked vessels just seconds before touchdown.

Book an 'A' seat for the best views. Morning flights (6 AM - 9 AM) are recommended to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Western Ghats without glare. During the final 10 minutes, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the green hills and the blue Arabian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🪨

Granite Formations

Unique boulder-strewn landscapes typical of the Hampi-Belagavi corridor.

💧

Krishna River Basin

Glimpses of the river and its tributaries winding through the agricultural heartland.

⛰️

Sahyadri Ridges

Excellent views of the northern ridges of the Western Ghats during the mid-flight descent.

🏖️

North Goa Coast

Distant views of the famous northern beach stretches if the pilot takes a wider approach path.

🛫

Dabolim Plateau

The steep cliffs and plateau terrain surrounding the naval airbase airport.

Choose an 'F' seat. This side is particularly scenic for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Arabian Sea directly ahead and to the right, creating a golden glow over the Goan coastline. Note that visibility can be limited during the monsoon season (June-September) due to heavy cloud cover.
