The silver thread of the Indus River winding through the fertile plains of the Punjab and KP provinces.
Sulaiman Mountains
A massive mountain wall forming the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau, featuring the famous Takht-e-Sulaiman.

Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters contrasting with the arid coastlines of the UAE and Iran as you head northeast.
Makran Coastal Range
Unique geological formations where the rugged desert plateaus drop sharply into the Arabian Sea.
Balochistan Plateau
A vast, lunar-like landscape of desolate valleys and eroded ridges stretching toward the Afghan border.
Hindu Kush Foothills
Increasingly jagged and snow-dusted peaks appearing as the aircraft descends toward Peshawar.
For the best views of the Makran coastline, choose a window seat on the left. In the winter months, the contrast between the brown earth and the dusting of snow on northern peaks is particularly striking.
