Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Multan International Airport (Multan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the arid Thar Desert fringes to the lush, irrigated greenery of the Indus River valley and the historic Sukkur engineering works.
Thar Desert Fringes
The eastern horizon showcases the rolling golden sand dunes of the Thar Desert before the landscape turns green.
Sukkur Barrage
A spectacular view of the massive British-era irrigation structure and the historic Lansdowne Bridge crossing the Indus.
Khairpur Date Orchards
Dense, dark green patterns of extensive date palm plantations create a unique texture across the landscape.
Punjab Farmlands
The final descent offers views of the fertile, geometric patchwork of the 'Seraiki' belt agriculture leading into Multan.
The right side is iconic for the Sukkur crossing. For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the low sun casts long shadows over the desert dunes and highlights the industrial architecture of the barrages.
Kirthar Mountain Range
The rugged limestone peaks of the Kirthar mountains run parallel to the flight path shortly after takeoff from Karachi.
Manchar Lake
One of the largest freshwater lakes in South Asia, visible as a vast blue expanse near the town of Sehwan.
Mohenjo-daro Ruins
Depending on the specific airway, the archaeological remains of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization can be spotted near Larkana.
Indus Meanders
Captivating views of the massive Indus River winding through the flat plains of Upper Sindh.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the geological transition into the Balochistan plateau foothills. Keep an eye out for the Sehwan Sharif area roughly 30 minutes into the flight.
