Gudu Barrage
A bird's-eye view of one of Pakistan's major irrigation structures near Kashmore.

A stark contrast of vibrant green agricultural patchwork bordering the river against the surrounding desert regions.
Panjnad Confluence
On the approach to Bahawalpur, see the area where the five rivers of Punjab eventually merge toward the Indus.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the river's surface. Keep a close watch roughly 15 minutes after takeoff from Sukkur to spot the massive Gudu Barrage engineering works. In summer, the river is significantly wider due to glacial melt.
