AZNTAS

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

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.
