DYR → KHV
Which side of the plane to sit from Ugolny Airport (Anadyr) to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning combination of rugged Arctic coastlines, the frigid Sea of Okhotsk, and a unique aerial perspective of the remote port city of Magadan.
Anadyr Bay
Upon departure, witness the dramatic meeting of the Anadyr River and the Bering Sea, often filled with sea ice until early summer.
Koryak Highlands
Aerial views of the snow-capped volcanic peaks and deep valleys of the Koryak mountain range in northern Kamchatka Krai.
Sea of Okhotsk Coast
Follow the jagged, uninhabited coastline where steep cliffs drop directly into the cold, deep blue waters of the Okhotsk.
Nagayev Bay & Magadan
A clear view of the iconic Nagayev Bay and the city of Magadan, the historic gateway to the Kolyma region.
Shantar Islands
On clear days, the remote and rugged Shantar archipelago can be spotted as you head south toward Khabarovsk Krai.
Sit on the left to avoid direct glare from the afternoon sun on this southward route. Most flights are during daylight; if flying in winter, watch for the 'Ice Flowers' on the Sea of Okhotsk. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to clearly see the Magadan coastline, which is a major highlight roughly midway through the flight.
Kolyma Range
Breathtaking views of the vast, untouched Kolyma mountain system, featuring rugged ridges and alpine tundra.
Anyuy National Park
Fly over the dense, pristine taiga forests of the northern Sikhote-Alin mountains as you approach the Khabarovsk region.
Amur River Confluence
As the plane descends into Khabarovsk, observe the massive scale of the Amur River as it winds through the lowlands.
Verkhoyansk-Kolyma Tundra
A glimpse into the extreme permafrost landscapes of the Russian Far East, characterized by frozen lakes and rivers.
The right side provides a masterclass in Siberian geology, showcasing the sheer scale of the Kolyma interior. On arrival into KHV, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Amur River bridge and the city suburbs during the final approach. This side can be quite bright in the afternoon, so bring sunglasses for the mountain glare.
