Our Recommendation
9.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.
