Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Kandahar Airport (Kandahar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Sulaiman Mountain Range and distant glimpses of the high Himalayan and Hindu Kush peaks to the north.
Distant Himalayan Peaks
On clear days, the snow-capped giants of the Himalayas are visible far to the north during the initial cruise.
Lahore Cityscape
Potential views of the historic city of Lahore and its surrounding landmarks shortly after crossing the border.
Sulaiman Mountains
Spectacular, jagged limestone ridges of the Sulaiman range that dominate the mid-flight horizon.
Toba Kakar Range
Rugged, high-altitude mountain terrain that marks the approach into southern Afghanistan.
Arghandab Valley
The green oasis of the Arghandab River valley providing a stark contrast to the surrounding Kandahar desert.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Sulaiman Mountains. Keep an eye out for the transition from the flat plains of Punjab to the sudden, dramatic vertical rise of the Afghan highlands.
Delhi Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense National Capital Region and the winding Yamuna River upon takeoff.
Punjab Plains
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields across the Indian and Pakistani Punjab regions.
Indus River Basin
The massive, winding silver ribbon of the Indus River as it cuts through the plains of Pakistan.
Balochistan Plateau
The desolate and beautiful arid landscapes of the northern Balochistan region.
Spin Boldak Border
The distinct geographical and political border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan near Chaman.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the desert. This side provides a better view of the agricultural patterns of the Indus Valley and the stark contrast of the arid southern terrain as you approach the Afghan border.
