Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a world-class display of the highest mountain systems on Earth, including the majestic Karakoram and Pamir ranges.
Himalayan Range
Early flight views of the snow-capped foothills and the northern Indian Himalayan chain.
Karakoram Giants
Stunning vistas of some of the world's highest peaks, including the area around K2 and Broad Peak.
Nanga Parbat
The dramatic 'Killer Mountain,' the ninth highest in the world, visible as the flight turns northwest.
Pamir Mountains
The 'Roof of the World' in Tajikistan, featuring massive glaciers and high-altitude plateaus.
Fergana Valley
The lush, fertile heart of Central Asia visible as the aircraft descends towards Tashkent.
This is the premier side for this route. Book an early morning flight to see the rising sun illuminate the eastern faces of the Karakoram. The most dramatic mountain views occur roughly 45 to 90 minutes into the flight. Use a high shutter speed for photos to combat cabin window glare and aircraft vibration. Check the weather for Gilgit-Baltistan and Tajikistan to ensure clear skies over the high peaks.
Delhi Metropolis
The expansive urban landscape and the Yamuna River visible shortly after takeoff.
Indus River
The historic waterway winding through the plains and foothills of Northern Pakistan.
Western Hindu Kush
Sharp, rugged ridges forming the natural boundary between South and Central Asia.
Uzbek Steppe
The arid, sweeping landscapes as the flight enters Uzbek airspace near the journey's end.
The left side is best for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the rugged Afghan-Tajik border. It offers a broader perspective of the river systems and the lower valleys of the Hindu Kush range. Opt for a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the winding rivers below.
