Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic mountain ranges in the world, including the distant Himalayas and the rugged Pamirs, especially as you approach Central Asia.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Emerald green islands and coral reefs dotting the deep blue waters of the Bay of Bengal.

🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are visible to the north while flying over India.

❄️

Karakoram & Pamir Ranges

Spectacular, close-up views of the 'Roof of the World,' featuring massive glaciers and jagged high-altitude peaks.

⛰️

Tian Shan Foothills

The beautiful snow-dusted mountains surrounding the Fergana Valley as you descend toward Tashkent.

🏗️

Tashkent TV Tower

A glimpse of Central Asia's tallest structure during the final approach into Tashkent International Airport.

A daytime flight is highly recommended to appreciate the mountain vistas. The right side is significantly more scenic during the final two hours of the flight. For the best views of the high-altitude glaciers, try to book a seat away from the wing (front or rear of the cabin) and ensure your flight departs early enough to have sunlight over the Pamir mountains.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Kuala Lumpur Cityscape

Aerial views of the Klang Valley and the iconic Merdeka 118 or Petronas Towers shortly after takeoff from KUL.

🚢

Straits of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, visible with numerous cargo ships before crossing into the Bay of Bengal.

🌾

Indo-Gangetic Plain

Expansive views of the fertile plains of Northern India and the winding river systems of the Ganges.

🏔️

Hindu Kush Mountains

Dramatic, arid mountain scenery as the flight crosses from Pakistan into Afghan and Uzbek airspace.

The left side is preferable for afternoon departures to witness the sunset over the Bay of Bengal or the arid landscapes of Afghanistan. During the descent into Tashkent, the left side often provides a clearer view of the city's suburban sprawl if landing towards the north.
