Right Side Highlights

🏔️

Ural Mountain Range

A spectacular crossing over the ancient mountains that serve as the geographic boundary between Asia and Europe.

🌊

Tura River Meanders

Striking views of the winding river paths carving through the landscape of the Sverdlovsk region.

🌳

Ural Deciduous Forests

A transition to lush green broadleaf forests as the aircraft enters the Bashkortostan territory.

🏙️

Ufa Metropolitan Area

Clear views of the city's industrial zones and expanding suburban residential layouts during final approach.

🛥️

Belaya River Loop

The dramatic curve of the Belaya (Aghidhel) River which defines the southern and western borders of central Ufa.

Keep your camera ready approximately 60 to 75 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. For the most defined terrain shadows, choose a morning or mid-day flight.

🌲

West Siberian Taiga

Endless stretches of dense coniferous forest and northern wetlands typical of the Yamalo-Nenets region.

💧

Ob-Irtysh Basin
