Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the highest peaks of the Gissar and Alay ranges, including glimpses of high-altitude lakes and the dramatic transition from the Pamir-Alay system to the Tien Shan mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Nurek Reservoir

Shortly after takeoff, look for the deep turquoise waters of the world's second-tallest man-made dam.

🏔️

Fann Mountains

Spectacular jagged peaks and hidden alpine valleys that are a hallmark of the Pamir-Alay system.

🌊

Iskanderkul Lake

A possible glimpse of the famous triangular mountain lake nestled deep within the Zeravshan Range.

🌲

Chatkal Nature Reserve

The lush, green slopes and biodiversity hotspots of the western Tien Shan mountains.

🏔️

Talas Alatau

The final dramatic mountain barrier before descending into the plains of Taraz.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for the snow-capped Gissar mountains. Keep your window shade up immediately after takeoff from KQT to see the Nurek Dam. During winter, this side offers a continuous vista of snow-covered peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Dushanbe Outskirts

View the sprawling development of the Tajik capital as you head north from Qurghonteppa.

⛰️

Turkestan Range

Observe the rugged, arid ridges of the western Turkestan mountains stretching toward Uzbekistan.

🏢

Tashkent Panorama

On clear days, the massive metropolitan area of Tashkent is visible on the western horizon.

🌾

Syr Darya Basin

The fertile agricultural lands fed by the Syr Darya river before crossing into the Kazakh steppe.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side is better for spotting the urban landscapes of Tashkent and the industrial zones near the Tajikistan-Uzbekistan border.
