Sulaiman Range Foothills
Dramatic, arid mountain ridges that define the boundary between the Indus plains and the western highlands.
Waziristan Highlands
The rugged and historically significant terrain of South and North Waziristan visible to the west.
Safed Koh (Spin Ghar)
The 'White Mountains' on the Afghan border, often capped with snow, dominate the horizon on the approach to Peshawar.
Kohat Mountain Pass
The winding roads and steep valleys of the Kohat hills as the aircraft transitions into the Peshawar Valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides the best perspective of the high-altitude peaks along the Durand Line. Keep your camera ready as you pass Kohat, as the descent into the Peshawar basin offers sharp mountain silhouettes against the horizon.

Indus River Basin
The mighty Indus River snaking through the landscape, creating a stark contrast between green irrigated banks and dry plains.
Chashma Barrage
A massive irrigation and power complex visible shortly after departure from Dera Ismael Khan.
Salt Range Vistas
To the far east, the ancient Salt Range peaks can be spotted on exceptionally clear days.
Peshawar Valley Entry
Dense urban settlements and lush agricultural orchards surrounding the historic city of Peshawar during final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is in the west, illuminating the Indus River valley perfectly. Look for the distinct change in topography from the flat plains of D.I. Khan to the enclosed fertile basin of Peshawar. During the winter, look for the heavy morning mist over the river channels.
