Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Krishna River Crossing

Shortly after departure from Hyderabad, watch for the wide, seasonal riverbeds of the Krishna River system.

🌲

Nallamala Forest Edge

Observe the dense green cover of the Eastern Ghats foothills appearing to the east during the mid-flight phase.

🌾

Cauvery Basin Views

Eastern Madurai
