Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic transition from the lush Satpura mountain ranges into the unique volcanic geography of the Deccan Plateau, along with better sunset views on evening flights.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Satpura Escarpments

Dramatic cliff faces and steep slopes of the western Satpura range are visible shortly after departure from IDR.

💧

Tapti River Meanders

The Tapti River creates a stunning visual snake-like pattern across the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.

🌋

Deccan Trap Formations

View the massive basaltic plateaus and flat-topped 'table land' hills formed by ancient volcanic activity across the Deccan.

🚤

Tungabhadra Catchment

As you enter Karnataka airspace, look for the shimmering waters and boulder-strewn landscapes typical of the Hampi-Bellary region.

🌆

Bangalore Suburban Expansion

The rapid urban spread of Northern Bangalore, including the KIADB Aerospace Park, is clearly visible just before touchdown.

The right side is unbeatable for afternoon and evening flights, offering a panoramic sunset over the Deccan Plateau. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side provides incredible views of cloud formations building up against the Western Ghats in the distance. Ensure you look out about 20 minutes before landing for the distinct 'boulder' terrain of Northern Karnataka.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Narmada River Crossing

Shortly after takeoff from Indore, look down to see the wide, sacred Narmada River cutting through the landscape.

⛰️

Satpura Mountain Range

Deep green forested ridges of the Satpura range provide a rugged texture to the horizon during the first quarter of the flight.

🌾

Godavari River Basin

Mid-flight, observe the intricate patterns of the Godavari river tributaries and the vast agricultural fields of Telangana and Maharashtra.

☁️

Nandi Hills

During the descent into Bangalore, the iconic Nandi Hills are often visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights (6 AM - 10 AM) to avoid the direct glare of the sun while enjoying the illuminated river valleys. This side is also excellent for spotting the Bangalore city skyline if the pilot approaches Kempegowda from the east over the Hebbal area.
