Zarafshan Mountains
Towering peaks and rugged ridges of the Zarafshan range dominate the horizon for a significant portion of the flight.
Kitab Geological Reserve
Aerial perspective of the unique tectonic formations and ancient rock layers near the Hissar range foothills.
Nuratau Ridges
The northern horizon features the rocky outcrops of the Nuratau mountains, marking the transition from steppe to high peaks.
Tashkent Oasis
The final descent offers a lush view of the greenery and urban sprawl surrounding the capital city, framed by the Tian Shan mountains.
The right side is unbeatable for photography during late afternoon flights when the 'golden hour' light illuminates the mountain faces. The snow-capped peaks are most prominent from late autumn through early summer. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the plane leaves the Karshi plains and skirts the mountain foothills.
