Which side of the plane to sit from Peshawar International Airport (Peshawar) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the rugged Suleiman and Kirthar mountain ranges, providing a dramatic contrast between the arid peaks and the Indus plains.
Suleiman Mountains
Rugged, arid mountain peaks that create a dramatic natural wall between the Indus plains and the Balochistan plateau.
Kohat Hills
The rocky, semi-arid mountain terrain immediately south of Peshawar provides high-contrast textures shortly after takeoff.
Kirthar National Park
As you descend into Karachi, witness the desolate but beautiful limestone hills and canyons of this protected area.
Arabian Sea Horizon
On clear days, the western horizon reveals the start of the Arabian Sea and the Gadani coastline during the final approach.
The right side is perfect for afternoon and evening flights, as you can watch the sun set over the Suleiman Mountains. The shadows emphasize the jagged ridges of the Kirthar range during descent. Keep your window shade open as you approach Karachi to see the transition from desert to sea.
Indus River Meanders
Watch the majestic Indus River snake through the plains, creating intricate silvery patterns and oxbow lakes.
Agricultural Heartland
View the vast geometric patches of the Punjab and Sindh farmlands that form the agricultural backbone of Pakistan.
Sukkur Barrage
Spot the historic British-era irrigation marvel crossing the Indus as you enter the northern Sindh province.
Hyderabad Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the dense urban sprawl of Hyderabad located on the east bank of the Indus River.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the river systems and the fertile green belts of the Indus basin. During the monsoon season, the flooded plains offer unique reflective views.
