DEL → DYU
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to some of the highest peaks on Earth, including the Karakoram and Pamir ranges, offering dramatic glaciated landscapes that are rarely seen elsewhere.
Nanga Parbat
The massive 'Killer Mountain' marks the western end of the Himalayas and is often visible in the distance.
Karakoram Giants
Views of high-altitude snow deserts and some of the world's most impressive 7,000-meter peaks.
The Pamir Knot
The 'Roof of the World' plateau, featuring a breathtaking convergence of the world's highest mountain ranges.
Fedchenko Glacier
One of the longest non-polar glaciers in the world, appearing as a massive river of ice through the Pamirs.
High-Altitude Lakes
Stunning views of turquoise alpine lakes like Sarez or Yashikul nestled deep within the Tajik mountains.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Aim for a morning departure to catch the sun illuminating the snow-capped peaks from the east. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing, as the mountain scenery is continuous for the latter half of the flight. Seasonal visibility is best in autumn when the air is clearest of summer dust and winter haze.
Delhi Metropolis
An expansive view of the National Capital Region's urban layout and monuments immediately after takeoff.
Punjab Plains
The fertile, green agricultural heartland of Northern India and Pakistan stretching toward the horizon.
Hindu Kush Outskirts
Rugged, arid mountain ridges and deep river valleys as the flight nears the Afghan-Tajik border area.
Gissar Valley
Quaint Tajik villages and structured farmland visible during the descent into Dushanbe.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and to avoid the direct glare of the sun when traveling northwest. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the flat plains of the subcontinent to the jagged Central Asian highlands.
