Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the snow-capped Himalayan foothills, the massive Mangla Dam reservoir, and the lush green landscape of Azad Kashmir against the horizon.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Pir Panjal Range

Distant views of the snow-covered peaks of the outer Himalayan ranges to the northeast.

🌊

Mangla Dam

One of the world's largest earth-fill dams, appearing as a massive turquoise expanse mid-flight.

⛰️

Margalla Hills

The rugged green hills surrounding Islamabad are visible immediately after takeoff.

🛶

Jhelum River

The meandering path of the Jhelum river as it flows from the mountains into the plains.

🏙️

Mirpur & Jhelum Cities

Clear aerial views of the urban settlements surrounding the reservoir and river banks.

Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Himalayan peaks to the north. On clear days after a rain spell, visibility is exceptional, making the snow-caps visible even on this short duration flight. Sit near the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Mangla reservoir.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
🏜️

Potohar Plateau

The unique, broken terrain and weathered ridges characteristic of northern Punjab's geography.

⛰️

Salt Range

The distant southern horizon features the ancient Salt Range mountains.

🚜

Punjab Farmlands

The transition from rugged plateau to the neatly gridded, fertile agricultural heartland of Pakistan.

🛣️

GT Road Corridor

The historic Grand Trunk Road (N-5) can be traced as a busy artery connecting the major cities below.

💧

Chenab River

Visible during the final approach into Sialkot, cutting through the flat alluvial plains.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Salt Range. It offers a great perspective on the geological shift from the rugged Potohar terrain to the flat, irrigated plains. Watch for the intricate patterns of the canal irrigation system near Sialkot.
