Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the majestic Hindu Kush mountains and the stunning white marble architecture of Ashgabat during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Hindu Kush Peaks

Breathtaking views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush range in Afghanistan.

🏞️

Kabul River Valley

Dramatic landscapes where the river carves through high-altitude mountain passes.

⛰️

Kopet Dag Mountains

The formidable mountain range that defines the border between Iran and Turkmenistan.

🏛️

Ashgabat Skyline

A unique aerial view of the 'City of White Marble' during the descent into ASB airport.

The Right Side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Book a morning flight for the best illumination of the Hindu Kush without the glare of the afternoon sun. On the final approach into Ashgabat, look out for the Monument of Neutrality and the city's gold-domed palaces which are highly visible from this side.

🌊

Indus River Basin

Observe the complex network of the Indus River as it meanders through the plains of Pakistan.

⛰️

Suleiman Mountains

Rugged ridges that form the eastern edge of the Iranian Plateau in Pakistan.

🏜️

Registan Desert

Striking views of the arid, reddish-brown landscapes of southern Afghanistan.

This side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the Central Asian deserts. Choose a flight during the late afternoon to see the desert sands glow in the golden hour light. Ensure your window is clean as the fine dust in the region can sometimes create a haze that reflects sunlight.
