HYD → TIR
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Tirupati Airport (Tirupeti)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Penna River gorges and the iconic sacred hills of Tirumala during the final descent.
Gandikota Canyon
Distant views of the 'Grand Canyon of India' where the Penna River cuts through the Erramala hills.
Penna River Valley
The wide, sandy bed of the Penna River snaking through the arid plains of southern Andhra Pradesh.
Tirumala Hills
The Seven Hills of Tirupati come into clear view during the descent, featuring steep cliffs and sacred peaks.
Tirupati Cityscape
A panoramic view of the bustling temple city nestled at the base of the towering Seshachalam Hills.
The right side is superior for the approach into Tirupati Airport. During the descent, you get a direct view of the Tirumala hill range. Late afternoon flights are ideal as the setting sun casts a golden glow over the rocky outcrops and temple complexes.
Krishna River Crossing
The winding Krishna River visible shortly after departure from Hyderabad, marking the boundary of the Deccan Plateau.
Nallamala Forest Reserve
Expansive views of the dense green canopy of one of India's largest tiger reserves and the Eastern Ghats.
Cuddapah Basin Ridges
Distinctive geological formations and sedimentary rock layers characteristic of the Rayalaseema region.
Srisailam Reservoir Edge
Glimpses of the vast water body and the rugged terrain surrounding the Srisailam dam area.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise illuminating the Eastern Ghats. This side offers better views of the lush vegetation and river systems during the monsoon season when the landscape is vibrant green.
