Makran Coastal Range
Stunning views of the fold mountains and unique geological formations along the Pakistani coastline.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters contrasting with the arid, jagged cliffs of the northern coastline of the Arabian Sea.
Indus River

Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas may be visible to the North during the final cruise phase.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. For daytime flights, the sun is positioned to the south, meaning the left side provides better lighting for photography without cabin glare. Look out about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain vistas.

During winter months, be prepared for heavy smog/fog views when approaching Delhi, which often obscures the ground.
