Aral Sea Basin

Gissar Mountain Range
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon as the plane descends into the Dushanbe valley.
Book a seat in the front or middle sections to avoid wing obstruction. On daytime flights, the sun will be behind you for most of the journey, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Central Asian mountains during arrival. Keep an eye out about 45 minutes before landing for the first glimpse of high-altitude peaks.
