TIR → HYD
Which side of the plane to sit from Tirupati Airport (Tirupeti) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
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.
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.
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.
