Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the arid Balochistan plateau to the Arabian Sea, featuring the impressive Hub Dam and a scenic coastal approach into Karachi.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Balochistan Badlands

An otherworldly landscape of eroded hills and vast desert plains that dominate the middle portion of the flight path.

💧

Hub Dam & Lake

A massive, bright blue reservoir that appears as a stark contrast to the surrounding parched brown desert landscape near the end of the journey.

🌊

Arabian Sea Coastline

The spectacular interface where the golden sands of the Balochistan coast meet the deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea.

⚓

Port of Karachi

Aerial views of heavy shipping traffic, the Manora peninsula, and the industrial infrastructure of the Karachi coastline on final approach.

Opt for afternoon flights on the right side to catch the golden hour reflections off the Hub Lake and the Arabian Sea. If the plane approaches Karachi from the west (Runway 07R), you will get a front-row seat to the coastline and the Naval base. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the Hub Dam transition.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Chiltan Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged peaks surrounding Quetta immediately after departure, showcasing the high-altitude geography of the region.

🏜️

Kirthar Range

Dramatic limestone ridges and deep canyons that mark the geological boundary between the Balochistan plateau and the Indus plains.

🏙️

Karachi Urban Sprawl

A comprehensive view of the dense architectural fabric and chaotic beauty of Pakistan's largest metropolis during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is better for spotting the sharp, vertical rock strata of the Kirthar National Park region. During winter months, look for occasional dust haze that can create atmospheric layers over the mountains.
