Koh-i-Baba Range
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped central spine of the Hindu Kush mountains to the west.
Nawur Plateau
A high-altitude volcanic field and plateau featuring unique geological textures and seasonal wetlands.
Sanglakh Mountains
Rugged, weathered ridges of the central highlands that showcase the raw, vertical beauty of the Afghan landscape.
Arghandab Valley
The sudden appearance of lush pomegranate orchards and green riverbanks as the plane descends into Kandahar.
The right side is best for morning flights, as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains. Look for the distinct change in geology from jagged rock to flat desert basins as you approach the Kandahar airfield.

Logar Valley
Fertile agricultural strips that create a stark green contrast against the dusty Afghan hills.
Ghazni Outskirts
Aerial perspective of the historic city and its ancient trading routes connecting Kabul to the south.
Ab-e Istada
A large, shimmering salt lake south of Ghazni that serves as a vital stop for migratory flamingos.
Sulaiman Range
Distant views of the massive mountain chain that forms the natural border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Sit on this side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. The reflection of light on the Ab-e Istada salt flats is most prominent during the spring when water levels are higher.
