Zagros Mountains
Stunning views of the parallel fold-and-thrust mountain belts across southwestern Iran.
Balochistan Plateau
A vast, high-altitude desert landscape featuring unique geological formations and craters.
Indus River
The massive, winding river that serves as the lifeblood of Pakistan's agriculture.
Suleiman Range
Rugged mountains forming the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau as you enter Punjab.
Margalla Hills
The lush green foothills of the Himalayas that surround the capital city of Islamabad.
For the most dramatic scenery, choose a seat forward of the wing. On clear winter days, look far to the north during descent to spot the distant snow-capped peaks of the Karakoram. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the mountain ridges perfectly.
