Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a dramatic perspective of the Greater Caucasus Range and the most iconic views of Mount Ararat during the final approach into Yerevan.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Yenisei River

Aerial view of the powerful Yenisei River cutting through the Siberian landscape shortly after departure from Krasnoyarsk.

🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks as you cross the border from Russia into the South Caucasus region.

💧

Lake Sevan

The 'Jewel of Armenia,' one of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in Eurasia, visible during the descent.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The legendary snow-capped volcano and national symbol of Armenia, usually visible in its full glory on the left during the final approach.

⛰️

Mount Aragats

Armenia's highest point, a four-peaked volcano massif, visible just before touchdown at Zvartnots.

For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide spectacular front-lighting on the Caucasus mountains and Mount Ararat. During winter months, the snow-covered landscapes of the Siberian Taiga are particularly striking from this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Siberian Taiga

Endless expanses of dense coniferous forests and rolling hills typical of the Krasnoyarsk region.

🌊

Volga River

Crossing the widest sections of Europe's longest river near the cities of Samara or Saratov depending on the flight path.

🌾

Kuban Steppes

The fertile agricultural heartland of Southern Russia, characterized by vast geometric field patterns.

🏢

Yerevan Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'Pink City' and its unique tuff-stone architecture as the plane aligns with the runway.

The right side is excellent for observing the vastness of the Russian plains and the industrial landscapes of the Volga region. On evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Black Sea horizon in the distance. When landing at EVN from the north, you may get a brief but clear view of the Hrazdan River Gorge.
