Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of India's diverse inland geography, including the rugged Eastern Ghats, major river crossings like the Krishna, and the sacred Seshachalam mountain ranges near Tirupati.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Dolphin's Nose

The famous hill promontory of Vizag is clearly visible on the right during departure.

🛤️

Eastern Ghats

Stunning views of the ancient, weathered mountain ranges that run parallel to the coast.

💧

Krishna River

A dramatic crossing of one of India's longest rivers, often appearing as a wide silver ribbon.

🛕

Seshachalam Hills

The dense forests and jagged peaks surrounding the Tirupati temple region.

🚜

Deccan Plateau Farmlands

A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields transitioning into the rocky terrain of Karnataka.

Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Eastern Ghats. On the descent into BLR, this side usually offers a better view of the airport's terminal architecture depending on the landing direction. Mid-day flights provide the clearest views of the river systems without shadow interference.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Bay of Bengal

Expansive views of the deep blue sea immediately after takeoff from Visakhapatnam.

🏖️

Coromandel Coast

Glimpses of the winding coastline and sandy stretches of southern Andhra Pradesh.

🛰️

Pulicat Lake

A massive brackish water lagoon near the Sriharikota spaceport, visible if the flight path tracks slightly eastward.

🏘️

Devanahalli Outskirts

The rapid urban expansion and planned residential layouts north of Bangalore's airport.

For morning flights, the left side experiences heavy glare from the rising sun over the Bay of Bengal. It is best for late afternoon flights when the sea reflects a soft golden hue. Keep an eye out for the distinct separation of land and water near the Nellore district.
