Western Himalayas
Incredible views of the Langtang, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri ranges shortly after departing Kathmandu.
Hindu Kush Glimpses
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush range are visible over northern Pakistan.
Makran Coastline
The surreal, moon-like geological formations and dramatic cliffs of the Balochistan coast in Pakistan.
Gulf of Oman
The turquoise waters where the desert mountains meet the sea as the plane begins its descent.
Al Hajar Mountains
The craggy, limestone peaks of northern Oman providing a stark, beautiful backdrop for the landing.
This is the 'Mountain Side.' For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun is behind you, illuminating the Himalayan peaks to the north. Ensure you sit forward or aft of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Makran Coast's unique mud volcanoes and ridges during the mid-flight segment.

Indo-Gangetic Plain
Vast stretches of green agricultural land and the winding river systems of Northern India.
Thar Desert Edges
Glimpses of the arid landscapes and sandy horizons of Rajasthan as the flight moves west.
Arabian Sea Expanse
A long segment over the deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea before reaching the Arabian Peninsula.
Muscat Cityscape
Upon approach, the unique low-rise white architecture of Muscat nestled between dark volcanic mountains.
Choose this side if you prefer a smoother light profile during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It provides a great perspective of the Omani coastline and the Al Hajar Mountains if the aircraft approaches Muscat from the south. Early morning flights offer a soft glow over the Indian plains.
