Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of Pakistan's diverse geography, including the Indus River, the rugged Kirthar mountain range, and the dramatic Makran coastline before descending into Muscat.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
💧

Indus River Meanders

The winding path of the Indus River as it carves through the landscape of Sindh.

⛰️

Kirthar Range

Striking views of the jagged, layered limestone ridges of the Kirthar mountains.

🏖️

Makran Coastline

One of the world's most dramatic coastlines, featuring unique rock formations and turquoise waters.

🌋

Balochistan Mud Volcanoes

Look for the rare and distinctive white conical mud volcanoes near the coast of Hingol.

🏔️

Omani Hajar Mountains

The stark, dark volcanic mountains of Oman appearing as you approach Muscat.

Sit on the right for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Balochistan mountains. Look out for the 'Princess of Hope' rock formation if the flight path stays near the coast.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌾

Punjab Heartland

Aerial views of the fertile agricultural plains of central Punjab shortly after departure.

🏜️

Thar Desert Fringe

The transition from green plains to the arid landscape of the eastern Sindh desert regions.

🏙️

Karachi Skyline

If the flight path hugs the coast, you can see the sprawling urban density of Pakistan's largest city.

🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

A vast, serene view of the open sea as the aircraft crosses toward the Arabian Peninsula.

The left side is preferable for night flights to see the city lights of Karachi and later the illuminated Muscat coastline. During morning flights, expect significant glare from the sun reflecting off the water.
