HMA β†’ TJM

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Ob-Irtysh confluence shortly after takeoff and provides a better vantage point for Tyumen's city layout and industrial landscape during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Ob-Irtysh Confluence

A massive geographic landmark where the Irtysh meets the Ob, visible shortly after lifting off from Khanty-Mansiysk.

πŸ•ΈοΈ

Kondinskoye Lowlands

A labyrinth of thousands of small lakes and water channels characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.

πŸ—οΈ

Industrial Infrastructure

Spot the oil and gas pipelines and processing facilities that power the region's economy.

πŸ’§

Tavda River

A major crossing over the Tavda River just as the aircraft begins its final descent into TJM.

πŸ™οΈ

Tyumen City Skyline

Excellent views of the Tura River embankment and the central district of Tyumen on the approach to Roshchino.

The right side is the 'pro choice' for this route. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for the confluence of the two great Siberian rivers. In late spring, you can witness the dramatic breaking of ice on the rivers, which is a spectacular sight from above.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ›Ά

Irtysh River Meanders

Watch the deep blue loops of the Irtysh River as it snakes through the Western Siberian landscape.

🌲

Siberian Taiga

Vast expanses of dense coniferous forests that dominate the terrain between the two cities.

🏰

Tobolsk Perimeter

On a clear day, look for the distant silhouette of the Tobolsk Kremlin, the only stone kremlin in Siberia.

🌫️

Wetland Mosaics

Intricate patterns of peat bogs and marshes that create a unique texture on the ground.

🏠

Tyumen Outskirts

View the rapid suburban growth and dacha communities on the eastern edge of Tyumen.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep a lookout for the Irtysh River, which remains a primary landmark throughout the journey. During winter, the snow-covered taiga provides a high-contrast view of the river's winding path.
