KUL → AMD
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic crossing into the Indian subcontinent, featuring the rugged Satpura mountain ranges, the prominent Narmada River, and a high chance of spotting the world's tallest statue during descent.
Malaysian Coastline
Stunning views of the western shores of Peninsular Malaysia and the Andaman Sea islands shortly after takeoff.
Visakhapatnam Port
The dramatic meeting point of the Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal at this major Indian industrial hub.
Satpura & Vindhya Ranges
Parallel mountain ridges offering rugged forest views and deep valleys across central Madhya Pradesh.
Narmada River
The sacred lifeline of Central India, appearing as a massive winding silver ribbon through the landscape.
Statue of Unity
The world's tallest statue is often visible near the Sardar Sarovar Dam during the final descent into Ahmedabad.
This side is superior for landmark spotting. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Satpura ranges and the Statue of Unity. The statue is typically visible on the right about 15-20 minutes before touchdown at AMD. Use a polarizer filter if taking photos to cut through the haze over Central India.
Strait of Malacca
Aerial views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the distant northern coastline of Sumatra.
Godavari Delta
Intricate patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and winding river distributaries as you enter Indian airspace.
Hyderabad Cityscape
A distant view of the sprawling 'City of Pearls' and its rapid urban development across the Deccan.
Deccan Plateaus
Unique volcanic rock formations and ancient step-like hills characteristic of South-Central India.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to minimize engine glare. For day flights, this side remains cooler as it faces away from the direct tropical sun for a significant portion of the trans-oceanic crossing. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after entering the Indian coast for the best river delta patterns.
