Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views of the rugged Sulaiman Mountain Range and the jagged limestone formations that define the entrance into the Balochistan plateau.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Sulaiman Mountains

Incredible views of the serrated ridges and tectonic folds of the Sulaiman range throughout the second half of the flight.

🗻

Takht-e-Sulaiman

Look for the 'Throne of Solomon,' a legendary and prominent peak that stands out amongst the rugged terrain.

🏜️

Gomal River Valley

Deeply incised river valleys and remote highland settlements visible in the arid landscape below.

🏘️

Quetta Basin Approach

Dramatic views of the high-altitude valley floor surrounded by the Chiltan and Zarghun mountain massifs during descent.

This side is superior for mountain lovers. Sit behind the wing to avoid obstruction of the Sulaiman peaks. In winter, these mountains are often snow-capped, providing stunning photographic opportunities during the final 20 minutes of the flight.

🏞️

Potohar Plateau

View the unique gully erosion and carved landscapes of the Potohar region immediately after departing Islamabad.

🌊

Indus River

A massive aerial perspective of Pakistan's longest river as it braids through the landscape near Mianwali.

🏗️

Chashma Barrage

The expansive reservoir and wetland ecosystem visible on the southern horizon during the mid-flight segment.

🌾

Thal Desert

The transition from the fertile Indus banks to the golden, arid sand dunes of the Thal region.

Choose this side for softer morning light over the Punjab plains. The Indus River crossing occurs approximately 25 minutes into the flight and is the visual highlight of this side.
