Southern Ural Extension
The rolling Mugodzhar Hills, marking the southernmost tip of the Ural mountain chain.
Syr Darya River
One of Central Asia's longest rivers, appearing as a shimmering silver ribbon across the arid plains.
Kyzylkum Desert
Massive expanses of red sand dunes and ancient geological formations in eastern Uzbekistan.
Fan Mountains
Stunning views of rugged 5,000-meter peaks as the flight approaches the Tajik border.
Northeastern Dushanbe
Aerial perspective of the Varzob River valley and the city's green outskirts against mountain backdrops.
Choose the left side for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Fan Mountains in brilliant detail. This side is also better for spotting the turquoise mountain lakes tucked between ridges during the final 20 minutes of flight.

Infinite desert vistas with unique patterns of erosion and occasional nomad settlements.
