The Hammerhead
A spectacular bird's-eye view of the narrow isthmus and the massive Koh-e-Batil plateau that gives Gwadar its distinct shape.
Gwadar Deep Water Port
Clear visibility of the strategic shipping terminal, massive cranes, and the developing infrastructure along the East Bay.
Makran Coastal Highway
The winding ribbon of the N-10 highway as it snakes through the stark, white-clay mountains and sandy plains.
Kech River Oasis
A striking contrast of vibrant green date palm orchards appearing amidst the arid brown landscape as the aircraft nears Turbat.
The right side is essential for the first 5 minutes of the flight to capture photos of Gwadar city. For the best clarity of the Kech River palm groves near Turbat, fly in the morning when the air is traditionally clearer and less hazy.

West Bay Vista
Expansive views of the tranquil blue waters of the Arabian Sea stretching toward the Iranian border during the initial climb.
Makran Range
Dramatic, jagged rock formations of the Makran Coastal Range that resemble a lunar landscape with sharp ridges and deep canyons.
Eroded Plateaus
Unique geological mud formations and vast desert plateaus that showcase the intense natural erosion of the Balochistan region.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm golden hour light hitting the mountain ridges. This side is also better for observing the remote, uninhabited desert expanses and occasional mud volcano clusters in the distance.
