Which side of the plane to sit from Andizhan Airport (Andizhan) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the high Chatkal mountain range and the rugged peaks of the Western Tien Shan as the aircraft exits the Fergana Valley.
Chatkal Mountains
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks of the Western Tien Shan rising sharply from the valley floor.
Mountain Gorges
Deep-cut valleys and seasonal riverbeds carved into the limestone and granite of the Chatkal range.
Tashkent City Center
Views of the Tashkent TV Tower and the high-rise buildings of the city center during the final descent.
Sit on the right for the most impressive mountain photography. In winter and spring, the peaks are covered in deep snow, making for spectacular contrast. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the transition from the valley to the high ridges.
Fergana Valley Mosaic
Intricate patterns of cotton fields and orchards that define Uzbekistan's most fertile region.
Kurama Range
Arid and stark mountain ridges that form the southwestern border of the valley near the Kamchik Pass.
Southern Tashkent
Bird's eye view of the expanding industrial and residential districts on the southern approach to the capital.
Morning flights provide soft lighting over the agricultural plains. Keep an eye out for the Syr Darya river glinting in the distance. This side is generally better for seeing the vastness of the valley floor before climbing over the mountains.
