Altai Mountains
Vast, snow-capped peaks of the Altai range visible shortly after the flight enters Kazakh airspace.
Lake Balkhash
The eastern turquoise waters of this massive, crescent-shaped lake provide a stunning contrast to the surrounding arid land.
Tian Shan Range
Known as the 'Celestial Mountains', these towering peaks dominate the horizon as the flight descends toward Tashkent.
Yenisei River Basin
Dense Siberian taiga and the winding path of the Yenisei river visible immediately after departing Krasnoyarsk.
Lake Zaysan
A large freshwater lake in eastern Kazakhstan that marks the transition from the mountains to the steppe.
Choose an early morning flight to see the sunrise reflecting off the Altai peaks. This side is consistently more scenic due to the proximity of the major mountain chains along the eastern border of Kazakhstan.
