Which side of the plane to sit from Namangan Airport (Namangan) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior vistas of the rugged Western Tien Shan mountain ranges and the scenic Ugam-Chatkal National Park, which are the main highlights of this short hop across the mountains.
Western Tien Shan
Stunning aerial perspectives of the snow-capped Western Tien Shan mountains shortly after takeoff.
Ugam-Chatkal Park
Aerial views of the deep valleys and protected alpine ecosystems of Uzbekistan's largest national park.
Greater Chimgan Peak
Look for the iconic 3,309m peak of Greater Chimgan, a major landmark of the Tashkent region.
Charvak Reservoir
The bright turquoise waters of the Charvak Reservoir can often be spotted nestled between the mountains.
Tashkent Skyline
On final approach, enjoy views of the Tashkent TV Tower and the modern skyline of the capital city.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the best photography, take a morning flight when the sun illuminates the north-facing slopes. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff, as the flight reaches its peak scenic altitude very quickly due to the short distance.
Namangan Cityscape
Panoramic views of Namangan city and its green spaces immediately after takeoff from NMA.
Fergana Valley Basins
The vast agricultural tapestry of the Fergana Valley with its intricate irrigation networks.
Southern Chatkal Ridges
Close-up views of the southern ridges of the Chatkal mountain range as the flight gains altitude.
Okhangaron Reservoir
A glimpse of the Okhangaron Reservoir and the industrial landscape of the Angren mining region during descent.
Tashkent Suburbs
The sprawling residential districts of eastern Tashkent as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the transition from the fertile valley floor to the high mountain ridges within the first 15 minutes of the flight.
