Which side of the plane to sit from Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar) to Dera Ismael Khan Airport (Dera Ismael Khan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Suleiman Mountains and the Safed Koh range, providing a stark contrast between the high peaks and the deep valley floor.
Safed Koh Range
Stunning views of the 'White Mountains' on the Afghan border, often capped with snow during the winter and spring months.
Tirah Valley Highlands
Observation of the deep, isolated valleys and steep ridges of the Tirah region, known for its extreme terrain.
Waziristan Foothills
The stark, arid beauty of the South Waziristan mountains, showing unique geological folds and desert-like peaks.
Gomal River Gorge
The winding path of the Gomal River as it carves through the Suleiman range toward the Indus plains.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side, as the rising sun perfectly illuminates the western mountain ranges. Winter flights offer the most dramatic scenery when the Safed Koh peaks are heavily snow-covered.
Peshawar Cityscape
A birds-eye view of the historic walled city and the sprawling urban layout of Peshawar immediately after departure.
Kohat Mountain Pass
Watch the winding Indus Highway snake through the rugged hills that separate the Peshawar and Kohat valleys.
Indus River Basin
The massive Indus River appears on the horizon, showcasing its wide, braided channels as it flows southward.
Lakki Marwat Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes featuring a patchwork of green fields and traditional rural villages characteristic of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the glint of the Indus River and the Chashma Barrage further south, especially in clear weather.
