Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Vishakhapatnam Airport (Vishakhapatnam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Godavari River and the scenic Papi Hills of the Eastern Ghats.
Hyderabad Suburbs
View the rapid urban expansion and the Outer Ring Road immediately after takeoff.
Godavari River Basin
Witness the massive width of the Godavari River as it nears the coastal delta.
Eastern Ghats
Scenic views of the Papi Hills range with its dense forest cover and ridges.
Rice Bowl of Andhra
Vibrant green paddy fields characteristic of the fertile East Godavari district.
Simhachalam Hill
The ancient hill-top temple site visible during the final descent into Visakhapatnam.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights (07:00-10:00) offer the clearest views of the Godavari delta with minimal haze. Look out for the Godavari Bridge near Rajahmundry, which is a massive engineering landmark visible from this side.
Krishna River
Distant views of the Krishna River meanders as they flow toward the Bay of Bengal.
Coastal Industrial Zone
The vast industrial landscape and pharmaceutical clusters located south of Visakhapatnam.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
The long, sandy stretch where the Andhra landmass meets the deep blue sea.
Visakhapatnam Port
One of India's largest ports with massive cargo ships and naval vessels visible.
Dolphin's Nose
A prominent rocky headland shaped like a dolphin's snout near the harbor entrance.
The right side is best during the final approach into VTZ. If the aircraft circles over the Bay of Bengal before landing (common during certain wind patterns), you will get a panoramic view of the Vizag coastline and the busy seaport. Ensure you have your camera ready for the Dolphin's Nose rock formation as you bank for landing.
