Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Makran Coastal Range's unique geology and a scenic approach over the Arabian Sea and Karachi's maritime infrastructure.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Makran Coastal Range

Breathtaking views of the moon-like, serrated ridges that run parallel to the southwestern coast.

🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

The deep blue expanse of the Arabian Sea comes into view as the aircraft banks toward the Karachi coastline.

🚢

Gadani Coastline

Views of the famous ship-breaking yards and the sandy beaches of the Gadani area during descent.

⚓

Karachi Port and Manora

Aerial perspective of Pakistan's busiest maritime gateway, including the Manora lighthouse and cargo terminals.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, offering a stunning golden hour view over the Arabian Sea. Look for the white surf breaking against the rugged cliffs of the Makran coast. During the final turn for landing, you can often see the massive container ships anchored off the coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Balochistan High Plateau

Vast and rugged desert landscapes with ancient geological folds visible immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Brahui Range

Distant views of the northern mountain ranges that define the border between the plateau and the plains.

💧

Hub Dam Reservoir

A large, striking blue water body that provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid Kirthar hills.

🏗️

Northern Karachi Urban Sprawl

Dense residential layouts of Surjani Town and North Karachi visible during the initial descent phase.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for spotting the Hub Dam, a major landmark on the approach to Karachi. Keep an eye out for the distinct V-shaped valleys of the Kirthar range.
