What does the Bangalore to Goa flight path pass over?
The flight path crosses the Western Ghats mountain range (altitude 3,000-4,000 feet visible from 25,000+ feet cruise altitude as a north-south trending ridge), transitioning from the Deccan Plateau's dry terrain to the lush, forested Western Ghats slopes. Around midpoint, the landscape shifts from sparse vegetation to dense green forest cover. The Ghats appear as a distinct topographic rise on the horizon during climb and descent phases. No major cities lie directly on the route, but the terrain transformation from plateau to coastal hills is the primary geographic feature.
