Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Kudremukh mountain range and the winding Netravati River as the aircraft climbs over the Western Ghats.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Netravati River Basin

Aerial view of the river snaking through the lush Mangalore outskirts immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Kudremukh Range

Dramatic vistas of the rolling green hills and deep valleys of the Western Ghats mountain range.

💧

Hemavati Reservoir

A glimpse of the blue waters of the Gorur Dam near Hassan during the mid-flight cruise.

🏙️

Bangalore North

Panoramic views of the Yelahanka area and the expanding suburban sprawl of North Bangalore on descent.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. In the evening, this side offers great sunset views over the Arabian Sea during the initial climb. Avoid the wing area (rows 10-20 on A320s) for an unobstructed view of the Ghats.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
🏖️

Ullal Coastline

A stunning view of the Mangalore coastline and the confluence of rivers with the Arabian Sea.

☕

Sakleshpur Estates

Look down at the vast coffee and spice plantations nestled within the misty Bisle Ghat region.

🌾

Deccan Plateau

The transition from dense mountain forests to the geometric patterns of the Karnataka agricultural plains.

✈️

BLR Airport Approach

Depending on the wind, a clear view of the airport's dual runway system during the final landing bank.

The right side is excellent for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the plateau. During the monsoon (June-Sept), this side provides a front-row seat to the heavy cloud formations pushing against the Ghats.
