Taftan Volcano
Witness the sulfur-crowned peak of Iran's only active volcano, often trailing smoke or steam shortly after departure.
Martian Mountains
Stunning views of the sedimentary 'Miniature' mountains, famous for their surreal, jagged, and moon-like appearance.
Khash Valley
Green agricultural strips and date palm groves that contrast sharply against the surrounding arid landscape.
Lipar Pink Wetland
If the flight path banks slightly east, you may spot the unique pink hues of this seasonal saline lake near the coast.
For morning flights, the left side offers the best lighting for photography without glare. Be sure to look out for the 'Martian' mountains roughly 15-20 minutes before landing, as they are a highlight of the Makran region. Use a polarizing filter if possible to capture the vibrant colors of the landscape.

Makran Ranges
Long, winding mountain ridges that run parallel to the coast, showcasing centuries of geological erosion.
Gulf of Oman
Vast turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea that come into view as the aircraft lines up for approach at Konarak.
Konarak Peninsula
Aerial perspective of the strategic airbase and the bustling fishing piers of the Konarak town.
Jazmurian Basin
A distant view of the vast interior drainage basin that separates the plateau from the coastal mountains.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as you can watch the sun dip into the Gulf of Oman during the descent. It provides a clearer view of the maritime activity and the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean as you approach the Konarak airport.
