Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive wind farms and the historic Seven-Circled Fort near Chitradurga, as well as the lush fringes of the Western Ghats during the initial climb.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Sahyadri Fringes

Lush green hills and dense forest patches representing the edge of the Western Ghats mountain range.

🔋

Chitradurga Wind Farms

Thousands of white windmills dotting the rocky ridges, creating a mesmerizing mechanical forest.

🏰

Chitradurga Fort

The legendary 'Kallina Kote' or Stone Fortress is visible as a complex labyrinth of stone walls on the rocky hills.

💧

Vani Vilas Sagara

The oldest dam in Karnataka, often called Mari Kanive, featuring a distinct architectural style and deep blue reservoir.

🌆

Bangalore City View

On the final approach, the sprawling IT parks and the dense urban canopy of North Bangalore come into view.

The right side is significantly better for photography on morning flights as the sun is on the opposite side. The highlight of this route is the Chitradurga region; watch for it roughly 25-30 minutes into the flight. In the monsoon season (June to September), the landscape transforms into a vibrant green tapestry.

🌊

Malaprabha Reservoir

The Navilatirtha dam and its winding blue waters are visible shortly after departure from Belgaum.

🏙️

Davanagere Urban Sprawl

A clear view of the textile hub's dense urban layout situated in the heart of Karnataka.

⛰️

Nandi Hills

As the flight approaches Bangalore, look for this popular hill station peaking through the clouds to the north.

The left side is ideal for morning flights if you enjoy the glint of the sun on the Krishna and Malaprabha river basins. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Kempegowda International Airport's massive terminal buildings as the plane turns for its final approach.
