Search flights from VTZ to CCU
Bay of Bengal Shoreline
Constant views of the turquoise coastline where the sea meets the sandy beaches of the eastern seaboard.
Chilika Lake
The absolute highlight of the trip; witness Asia's largest brackish water lagoon and its numerous islands from a high altitude.
Mahanadi River Delta
The complex, labyrinthine network of river mouths and mangrove-lined channels near Paradeep.
Sunderbans Fringes
On final approach to Kolkata, look for the edges of the world's largest mangrove forest to the southeast.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Bay of Bengal. Chilika Lake appears roughly 30 to 40 minutes after takeoff from VTZ; keep your camera ready for this massive geographic feature.

Eastern Ghats
View the rugged, forest-covered ridges of the Eastern Ghats shortly after departing Vishakhapatnam.
Bhubaneswar & Cuttack
Aerial perspectives of Odisha's twin cities, including the historic Barabati Stadium and ancient temple clusters.
Upper Mahanadi
Crossing the wide, sandy beds of the Mahanadi River as it flows through the Odisha heartland.
Rural Landscapes
Vibrant green paddy fields and a network of irrigation canals that define the agricultural landscape of Eastern India.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the sea. Look for the distinct urban grid of Bhubaneswar about mid-way through the flight duration.
