COK

When landing at Cochin International Airport (COK), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the typical runway 09 approach, you fly in from the west and touch down heading east, which puts the right side of the aircraft facing south. That gives you a good look at the Periyar River winding through the green paddy fields and coconut groves south of the airport, plus glimpses of the Kochi backwaters further in the distance before landing. Notable sights include: Periyar River, Vembanad Lake backwaters (distant), coconut palm groves and paddy fields around Nedumbassery, scattered village clusters south of the runway.
