Karachi Urban Sprawl
A massive aerial view of Pakistan's largest city and the industrial zones of SITE and North Karachi shortly after takeoff.
Kirthar Mountain Range
Dramatic limestone ridges and folded rock formations marking the border between Sindh and Balochistan provinces.
Manchar Lake
One of South Asia's largest natural lakes, appearing as a vast blue expanse against the surrounding arid landscape.
Suleiman Mountains
The massive mountain wall of the southern Hindu Kush system, visible during the mid-flight cruise as you head north.
Kohat Pass
The rugged gateway to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region visible as the plane begins its descent into the Peshawar valley.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for flights departing in the afternoon to avoid direct glare from the eastern sun. On clear days, the visibility of the western mountain ranges is exceptional, especially in the winter months when the air is less hazy. Look for the distinct 'ladder' formations in the rock layers of the Kirthar range.

Indus River Meanders
Continuous views of the winding Indus River, the lifeblood of the country, with its complex network of canals and greenery.
Thar Desert Fringes
The transition from the green irrigated plains to the golden dunes of the Thar and Thal deserts to the east.
The Salt Range
An ancient geological formation containing the world's second-largest salt mines, visible as reddish-brown hills near the Potohar Plateau.
Attock Fort & Confluence
During the final approach, watch for the historic Attock Fort and the distinct meeting point of the Kabul and Indus Rivers.
The right side (F) is best for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Indus river basin. During the monsoon season (July-September), this side offers impressive views of the flooded plains and the lush greenery of the Punjab province. Keep a keen eye out for the historic Attock bridge and fort just before the descent into Peshawar.
