Which side of the plane to sit from Turbat International Airport (Turbat) to Jinnah International Airport (Karachi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the rugged Makran coastline, the turquoise Arabian Sea, and unique geological formations like mud volcanoes and the Hingol canyons.
Arabian Sea Coast
Enjoy views of where the golden desert sands meet the deep blue of the sea.
Mud Volcanoes
Look for the rare Chandragup mud volcanoes near the Hingol area, appearing as grey conical mounds.
Hingol National Park
Breathtaking views of coastal cliffs and the winding Hingol River.
Manora Island
On clear days during the bank for landing, you can see the port of Karachi and Manora lighthouse.
The right side is the scenic winner for morning flights. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the mud volcanoes. The contrast between the arid cliffs and the ocean is best viewed from a window seat slightly behind the wing.
Makran Range
Witness the dramatic folded mountain structures typical of the Balochistan plateau.
Kech River Valley
Spot the sparse greenery and palm groves lining the dry riverbeds near Turbat.
Hub Dam
A massive reservoir on the border of Balochistan and Sindh, visible during the descent.
Surjani Town
The dense urban expansion and grid-like planning of northern Karachi as you approach.
The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a better perspective of the inland mountain folds and the vast industrial northern suburbs of Karachi during the final approach.
