Karakum Desert
Vast stretches of golden sand dunes visible immediately after departure from Ashgabat.
Amu Darya River
The historic Oxus river carving a path through the arid landscape near the Afghan border.
Northern Hindu Kush
Spectacular views of jagged, snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys in northern Afghanistan.
Chenab River
Silver, meandering river loops as the aircraft enters the fertile plains of the Punjab region.
Indian Punjab Plains
A lush mosaic of agricultural fields stretching to the horizon as you descend into Amritsar.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Hindu Kush peaks. If flying during the winter, the snow cover is significantly more dramatic. Use a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the mountain ridges which appear about 45 minutes into the flight.

Rugged limestone mountains lining the border between Turkmenistan and Iran shortly after takeoff.
Koh-i-Baba Range
The high central mountain extension of the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan, known for its arid, stark beauty.
Suleiman Mountains
Massive, folded sedimentary rock formations visible as the flight approaches the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Lahore Outskirts
Distant views of the sprawling urban density of Lahore just before crossing the international border into India.
Wagah Border Line
On a clear day, you can see the distinct line of the border and the Grand Trunk Road connecting the two countries.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers better views of the central Afghan highlands and the transition into the dry Suleiman range. Keep an eye out for the distinct change from mountainous terrain to the flat, grid-like farmlands of Pakistan.
