Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the high Sulaiman Mountain peaks, including the legendary Takht-e-Sulaiman, and provides a clear perspective of the Gomal River valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Takht-e-Sulaiman

View the iconic 'Throne of Solomon' peak, the highest point in the Sulaiman Range at over 3,400 meters.

🏜️

Rugged Limestone Canyons

Deeply eroded sedimentary rock formations and sharp ridges characteristic of the Balochistan-KPK border.

🏞️

Gomal River Path

The winding path of the Gomal River as it carves through the mountain passes towards the plains.

🏘️

Dera Ismael Khan Outskirts

The expanding northern suburbs and traditional settlements surrounding the city as you begin the final descent.

Sit on the left for the most impressive mountain scenery. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the eastern slopes of the Sulaiman range perfectly for photography. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Zhob as the aircraft climbs over the primary ridges.

Right Side Highlights
7.0
🏔️

Southern Sulaiman Ridges

A panorama of the lower southern ridges showing distinct geological folding patterns.

🌊

The Indus River

The massive, braided Indus River comes into view on the horizon, marking the transition to the Punjab plains.

🛤️

Chashma Right Bank Canal

Observe the extensive irrigation network that transforms the arid landscape into green agricultural belts.

🏙️

DSK City Center

A view of the city's dense urban core and the historic landmarks near the riverbank during the landing phase.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid glare. It provides the best perspective of the transition from the barren brown mountains to the lush green agricultural zones fed by the Indus. Watch for the distinct line where the desert meets the irrigated plains near the end of the flight.
