Ashtamudi Lake
The scenic, palm-shaped estuary in Kollam known for its eight branches and houseboat tourism.
Kuttanad Region
The 'Rice Bowl of Kerala' where paddy fields are uniquely cultivated below sea level.
Vembanad Lake
India's longest lake, featuring a massive expanse of water and the Thanneermukkom Bund.
Western Ghats
The misty blue silhouette of the mountain range running parallel to the flight path in the distance.
Alappuzha Town
The 'Venice of the East' with its intricate network of canals and urban greenery.
The right side is superior for morning flights to see the Western Ghats before the haze sets in. It provides the best perspective of the inland water systems. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from TRV as the backwater systems appear quickly. Avoid monsoon months for photography as heavy cloud cover often obscures the ground completely during this short hop flight.

Arabian Sea Horizon
Continuous views of the vast blue Arabian Sea stretching toward the western horizon.
Varkala Cliffs
The unique red laterite sedimentary cliffs adjacent to the Arabian Sea coastline.
Kochi Port and Harbors
Aerial perspective of the bustling shipping lanes and container terminals as you approach Kochi.
Kollam Beach
A clear view of the historic coastline and fishing harbor of the city of Kollam.
Coastal Palm Groves
Densely packed coconut plantations that form a green carpet along the shoreline.
Sit on the left for sunset views on evening flights. This side is ideal for capturing the golden hour reflecting off the Arabian Sea. Because the flight is very short and low-altitude, coastal details like lighthouses and fishing boats are often clearly visible if the sky is clear.
