Which side of the plane to sit from Quetta International Airport (Quetta) to Turbat International Airport (Turbat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the jagged Makran Central Range and the vast, Mars-like desert expanses toward the Iranian border, especially during the descent into Turbat.
Nushki Desert Edge
Where the high mountains meet the sandy fringes of the vast western deserts near the Afghan border.
Makran Central Range
Iconic, knife-edged ridges that dominate the skyline as the aircraft progresses southward.
Kech River Oasis
The striking green contrast of date palm orchards as you approach the fertile valley of Turbat.
Western Horizon
Spectacular views of the setting sun casting long shadows across the desolate, beautiful landscape.
For afternoon flights, this side provides dramatic backlighting of the mountain ridges. Keep an eye out for the 'Mirani Dam' area during the final approach phase, which appears as a rare blue patch in the brown landscape.
Chiltan National Park
Dramatic limestone peaks near Quetta, known for the rare Chiltan Markhor and rugged cliffs.
Central Brahui Range
Continuous chains of arid mountains showing intense geological folding and sedimentary layers.
Meandering Nullahs
View the intricate, snake-like patterns of dry riverbeds that carve through the brown desert floor.
Kalat Plateau
High-altitude plains and isolated settlements that highlight the remote nature of central Balochistan.
Sit on this side during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The early light highlights the deep shadows in the canyons of the Brahui range, providing excellent depth for photography.
