Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the majestic southern shores of Lake Baikal, the rugged Sayan Mountains, and the sweeping bends of the Amur and Selenga rivers.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Amur River Confluence

View the massive river system where the Amur and Ussuri rivers meet shortly after takeoff from Khabarovsk.

🏔️

Southern Baikal Basin

Witness the deepest part of the world's oldest lake, often showing turquoise water in summer or intricate ice patterns in winter.

⛰️

Khamar-Daban Ridge

A high-altitude mountain range bordering the southern rim of Lake Baikal, known for its lush vegetation and snowy peaks.

❄️

Eastern Sayan Mountains

Impressive snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon as the flight approaches the Krasnoyarsk region.

🏙️

Krasnoyarsk City Skyline

A bird's-eye view of the urban sprawl and industrial heart of the city during the final descent into Yemelyanovo.

🗿

Stolby Nature Reserve

On a clear day during approach, look for the unique rock formations of the famous Krasnoyarsk Pillars to the south.

To capture the best photos of Lake Baikal, book a morning flight; the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the lake's surface without glare. This side is also superior for spotting the transition from the Far Eastern wetlands to the high Siberian mountains.
