Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the magnificent Western Ghats (Sahyadri Range), offering views of lush hill stations, deep reservoirs, and dramatic escarpments.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Sahyadri Mountains

Continuous stretches of the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich biodiversity.

🍓

Mahabaleshwar Plateau

The high-altitude flat-topped mountains of Maharashtra's most famous hill station are clearly visible.

🌊

Koyna Reservoir

The vast blue expanse of Shivsagar Lake, formed by the Koyna Dam, nestled within deep mountain valleys.

🌳

Malnad Forests

The transition from the dry plateau to the dense, evergreen canopy of the Karnataka mountain ranges.

🌤️

Western Escarpment

Dramatic cliffs where the plateau drops off toward the Konkan coast, often shrouded in mist during monsoon.

Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the Western Ghats. This side is particularly spectacular from July to October (post-monsoon) when the mountains are vibrant green and dotted with seasonal waterfalls.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
🏙️

Hubballi-Dharwad

The twin cities of North Karnataka appear as a significant urban sprawl amidst the agricultural plains.

🌾

Deccan Plateau

Geometrically patterned farmland and dry deciduous landscapes typical of the interior Deccan region.

⛰️

Nandi Hills

The famous ancient hill fortress and popular sunrise spot visible during the final descent into Kempegowda International.

The left side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the horizon. During the approach to BLR, this side often offers a clear view of the airport's massive logistics hubs and the northern Bangalore suburbs.
