Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers breathtaking panoramas of the Pamir Mountains and distant glimpses of the Karakoram Range, including Nanga Parbat, providing a superior view of the 'Roof of the World'.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
đŸ”ī¸

Karakoram Silhouette

Distant views of the world's highest peaks like K2 and Nanga Parbat appearing on the eastern horizon.

đŸžī¸

Swat Valley

Lush green valleys contrasting with the high mountain ridges of Northern Pakistan's frontier.

â›°ī¸

Pamir Mountains

The 'Roof of the World' in Tajikistan, featuring massive glaciers and stark, high-altitude plateaus.

🌊

Amu Darya

The ancient Oxus River forming the historic boundary between Central Asian nations.

đŸ™ī¸

Fergana Valley Edge

The fertile basin of Uzbekistan appearing as a vivid green contrast to the surrounding rocky mountains.

Request a window seat on the right to witness the massive glaciated peaks of the Pamirs. In winter, the heavy snow cover makes the mountain topography exceptionally vivid. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the mountains, though you may want to keep the window shade partially down if the sun is low.

đŸ™ī¸

Islamabad Skyline

An aerial view of Pakistan's capital and the lush Margalla Hills shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Indus River

The winding course of one of Asia's longest rivers as it carves through the mountainous landscape.

đŸ”ī¸

Hindu Kush Peaks

Dramatic, sharp ridges of the western Himalayan extension across Northern Afghanistan.

đŸœī¸

Northern Afghan Plains

The transition from high mountain peaks to the arid, golden plains of the Kunduz region.

đŸ›Šī¸

Tashkent Approach

A descending view over the sprawling urban landscape and gardens of Uzbekistan's capital.

Sit on the left for better views of the Indus River and the rugged Afghan borderlands. Choose a morning flight for the clearest visibility of the Hindu Kush range, as afternoon haze can often obscure the lower valleys. This side also avoids direct sun glare during northern-bound morning departures.
