Hub River & Dam
Shortly after takeoff, view the contrasting blue waters of the Hub reservoir set against the arid Karachi outskirts.
Kirthar National Park
Witness the parallel mountain ridges and deep canyons of this rugged wilderness area from a high vantage point.
Balochistan Plateau
An expansive 'Mars-like' landscape featuring unique geological formations and reddish-brown terrain.
Koh-i-Chiltan
As the flight descends into Quetta, the massive Chiltan range looms large, often snow-capped during winter months.
Lak Pass
Spot the winding roads and dramatic mountain gateway that connects southern Balochistan to the Quetta valley.
Choose a morning flight for the best lighting; the rising sun highlights the shadows on the western faces of the Kirthar ridges. Sit away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the deep ravines. During winter (December-February), these peaks offer a rare glimpse of snow in an otherwise desert region.

Views toward the historic mountain pass, a critical trade route and gateway used for centuries.
Kachhi Plain
A vast, flat expanse that transitions into the foothills of the Brahui mountain range.
Quetta Valley View

The right side is ideal for capturing the transition of landscapes. If flying in the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the ancient railway lines and tunnels visible near the Bolan Pass area during the descent.
