Al Hajar Mountains
Witness the stark, jagged peaks of the Omani coastline immediately after departure from Muscat.
Makran Coastal Range
Entry into Pakistani airspace reveals the unique, moon-like geological formations of Balochistan.
Sulaiman Mountains
A massive limestone mountain range that runs parallel to the flight path for a significant duration.
Safed Koh (Spin Ghar)
Impressive snow-capped peaks visible on the horizon near the Afghan border during the final approach.
Tirah Valley
The deep, forested valleys and rugged terrain of the Khyber region just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western mountain faces. During winter months, the snow cover on the Safed Koh mountains is particularly striking.

Indus River Basin
The winding, silver threads of the Indus River and its vast, fertile floodplains in the distance.
Punjab Farmlands
A patchwork of vibrant green agricultural fields contrasting with the arid landscapes of the west.
Salt Range
Interesting geological folds and the Potohar Plateau visible during the mid-to-late stage of the flight.
Peshawar Urban Scrawl
A sprawling view of the historic 'City of Flowers' and the dense urban layout of Peshawar during the final turn.
The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from desert to lush greenery. If you are flying in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare from the sun.
