What to See from the Plane: Bangalore to Delhi
One of India's longest domestic corridors at 1,750 km, this route offers a geology lesson in Indian landscapes. The aircraft flies almost directly south, crossing the Yamuna-Ganges flood plain, the rocky Vindhya Hills, the Narmada Valley, the Maharashtra Deccan, and finally descends into Bangalore through the Karnataka plateau. The Western Ghats mountain wall is visible to the right through most of the flight's southern half.
The Bangalore–Delhi route has a distinct character compared to similar corridors. If you're also considering Bangalore to Mumbai, the seat selection logic differs — terrain and sun angle shift meaningfully between routes. Similarly, Bangalore to Hyderabad follows a different flight path and has its own side recommendation worth checking before you book.
