Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Zarghun Ghar mountains immediately after takeoff and a superior angle of the Indus River's wide, braided channels as you cross into Punjab.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Zarghun Ghar Range

Dramatic limestone peaks surrounding Quetta, reaching altitudes over 3,500 meters shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Northern Sulaiman Range

Rugged, arid mountain ridges that define the border between Balochistan and Punjab provinces.

🌊

Indus River Crossing

A spectacular view of Pakistan's longest river, often appearing as a silver ribbon with extensive sandbars.

🚜

Upper Punjab Plains

The transition from rocky desert to a patchwork of vibrant green agricultural fields irrigated by the canal system.

🏢

Lahore Northern Expanse

Views of the Ravi River and the dense urban development of northern Lahore during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side provides a clearer view of the higher mountain peaks to the north. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes for the dramatic ascent over the Quetta valley wall.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Balochistan Plateau

Vast, undulating desert landscapes and unique geological folds stretching toward the south.

🏞️

Lower Sulaiman Range

Interesting rock formations and seasonal riverbeds (nullahs) cutting through the mountain face.

🌾

Central Punjab Heartland

Bird's-eye view of the massive irrigation network and the densely populated rural villages of Punjab.

🏘️

Sahiwal & Okara Districts

Distant views of major agricultural hubs and industrial zones as the aircraft nears the destination.

🕌

Southern Lahore Skyline

A view of the sprawling residential schemes like DHA and the southern outskirts of the city upon landing.

Excellent for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the aircraft, illuminating the Punjab plains. Look for the geometric precision of the British-era canal colonies which are particularly visible from this side.
