TIRHYD

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the massive Srisailam Reservoir and the dense, undulating ridges of the Nallamala Forest range during the mid-flight segment.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌳

Nallamala Forest

A vast expanse of tropical forest that forms part of the Eastern Ghats and a major tiger reserve.

🌊

Srisailam Dam

The massive hydroelectric project on the Krishna River, creating a stunning blue reservoir amidst the hills.

⛰️

Eastern Ghats

Parallel ridges of ancient mountains that provide a textured backdrop for the flight path.

🏢

Hyderabad Skyline

Views of the expanding IT corridors and the suburban development of Shamshabad before landing.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for water bodies. Aim for a morning flight to see the Srisailam reservoir clearly without atmospheric haze. Post-monsoon (September to November) offers the most vibrant green views of the Nallamala forests.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Seshachalam Hills

The rugged, sacred mountains surrounding Tirupati visible immediately after takeoff.

💧

Pennar Riverbed

The wide, sandy stretches of the Pennar River crossing through the Rayalaseema region.

🏙️

Kurnool City

View of the historic city situated at the confluence of the Tungabhadra and Handri rivers.

🏞️

Himayat Sagar

One of the two major man-made lakes on the outskirts of Hyderabad during the descent.

Sit on the left for better views of the rocky Deccan outcrops and the Gandikota-adjacent landscapes. This side is preferable during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun while capturing the golden hour glow on the plateau.
