Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Iranian highlands and the breathtaking snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal and Himalayan ranges during the final approach into Sialkot.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Immediately after takeoff, catch a clear view of the Kuwait Towers and the dense urban architecture along the Persian Gulf coast.

🏔️

Zagros Mountains

The flight path crosses southern Iran, showcasing the folded, dramatic ridges and sedimentary rock formations of the Zagros range.

🏜️

Dasht-e Lut Outskirts

Observe the vast, arid beauty of the Iranian plateau, featuring unique salt flats and eroded desert landscapes.

🌊

Indus River

Witness the massive Indus River as it carves through the landscape, marking the transition into the fertile plains of Pakistan.

🏔️

Pir Panjal Range

As the plane descends toward Sialkot, the northern horizon is dominated by the massive, snow-covered foothills of the Himalayas.

🚜

Punjab Plains

A patchwork of vibrant green agricultural fields typical of the 'Breadbasket of Pakistan' during the final descent.

Sit on the left for the morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while facing the Himalayas. The mountain views are most crisp in the early morning before the haze of the Punjab plains sets in. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the best mountain shots.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
💧

Persian Gulf

Enjoy views of the turquoise waters and offshore oil installations shortly after departing from Kuwait.

🏖️

Iranian Coastline

The route often hugs the northern coast of the Gulf, providing glimpses of secluded bays and coastal settlements.

🪨

Balochistan Plateaus

Rugged, desolate, and incredibly textured rock formations that define the border region between Iran and Pakistan.

🏙️

Faisalabad & Lahore

On clear days, the sprawling urban reaches of these major cities can be seen to the south during the approach phase.

🛶

Chenab River

View the winding paths of the Chenab River, which provides the lifeblood for the region's intensive farming.

The right side is excellent for sunset flights as you will witness the sun dipping below the horizon over the Arabian Sea and the desert. However, it can get very hot and bright during daytime flights. In winter, look for the 'smog layer' over the cities which creates a distinct atmospheric line.
