Mauritius Coastline
Breathtaking views of the coral reefs and turquoise lagoons around the northern tip of the island shortly after takeoff.
Chagos Archipelago
Depending on the specific airway, possible distant views of the remote atolls in the central Indian Ocean.
Lakshadweep Islands
As the flight nears the Indian subcontinent, small emerald specks of the Lakshadweep chain may be visible.
The Western Ghats
Dramatic views of the misty, green mountain range as the aircraft crosses into the Indian mainland over Karnataka.
Bangalore Urban Sprawl
A clear view of the northern suburbs and the rapid urban development of the 'Silicon Valley of India' during final approach.
For the best experience on daytime flights, sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Upon departure from MRU, have your camera ready within the first 10 minutes to capture the reef colors. During the final 30 minutes, watch for the distinct change in landscape from the blue ocean to the dense green of the Western Ghats.
