LHEDEA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the vast Indus River crossing and the rugged foothills of the Sulaiman Mountain Range during the descent into Dera Ghazi Khan.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Chenab River Crossing

Aerial view of the wide, sandy banks and blue waters of the Chenab River near Jhang.

🚢

The Mighty Indus

A spectacular view of the Indus River, one of the longest rivers in Asia, just before landing at DEA.

⛰️

Sulaiman Mountains

The dramatic rising peaks of the Sulaiman Range provide a rugged backdrop to the west of the city.

🏜️

Thal Desert Fringes

Glimpse the transition from fertile plains to the arid, sandy landscapes of the Thal Desert region.

🛫

Faisalabad Horizon

Distant industrial skyline of Faisalabad, Pakistan's textile hub, shortly after takeoff.

This is the preferred side for the final approach. For the most stunning photography of the Sulaiman Mountains and the Indus River, book an afternoon flight when the sun is behind you, illuminating the mountain ridges and water. The contrast between the river's greenery and the desert's tan is most vivid in summer.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Ravi River Meanders

Catch early views of the Ravi River as the flight departs from Lahore heading southwest.

🚜

Punjab's Breadbasket

Expansive views of the lush, green agricultural heartland of Pakistan with its dense grid of farms.

🌾

Irrigation Canals

Observe the intricate and historic British-era canal system that networks across the Bari Doab region.

🏙️

Sahiwal Environs

Distant views of the urban sprawl of Sahiwal and the surrounding cattle-rich plains.

Sit on this side for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting on the green plains without the glare of the direct sun. During winter (December-January), look for the 'Smog Blanket' that often covers this region, creating a surreal white sea of clouds below the aircraft.
