Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most consistent views of the Indus River, the historic Sukkur Barrage, and the rugged foothills of the Kirthar Range during the descent into Karachi.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Indus River Meanders

Spectacular views of Pakistan's longest river winding through the landscape like a giant silver ribbon.

🌊

Panjnad Confluence

The geographic point where the five rivers of Punjab merge into the Indus, visible shortly after takeoff.

🌉

Sukkur Barrage

A landmark engineering feat with 66 arches, clearly visible as the plane passes over Northern Sindh.

⛰️

Kirthar Range

The arid, rocky ridges marking the boundary between Sindh and Balochistan visible in the distance.

🛬

Karachi Urban Sprawl

A bird's eye view of the massive Malir Cantt area and the industrial outskirts of the mega-city.

The right side is superior for sunset flights, offering a golden reflection off the Indus River. Look for the Sukkur Barrage roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight. During the descent, the contrast between the dry Kirthar mountains to the west and the growing city below is most striking from this side.

🏜️

Thar Desert Fringe

The edge of the Great Indian Desert appears as vast golden patches to the east as you head south.

🕌

Uch Sharif Vicinity

Glances of the historic region known for its ancient shrines and the confluence of the Sutlej and Chenab rivers.

🏙️

Hyderabad Skyline

View the sprawling urban density of Sindh's second-largest city shortly before the final approach.

🌾

Sindh Agricultural Belt

Intricate patterns of canal-irrigated farmland that create a green mosaic against the arid landscape.

Sit here on morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is ideal for seeing the vastness of the Sindh plains and the transition from fertile Punjab to the arid Thar Desert region. It provides a great perspective of the dense urban layout of Hyderabad.
