Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the turquoise expanse of Lake Balkhash and the dramatic rise of the snow-capped Tian Shan and Pamir-Alay ranges.
Siberian Steppe
Vast agricultural patterns and flat plains immediately south of Omsk.
Kazakh Uplands
The rolling, ancient hills of the Saryarka region in central Kazakhstan.
Lake Balkhash
A massive, crescent-shaped lake with distinct turquoise color variations visible mid-flight.
Tian Shan Vista
Distant, high-altitude views of the 'Celestial Mountains' along the southeastern horizon.
Pamir-Alay Range
Dramatic, glacier-topped peaks during the final descent into the Tajik highlands.
Optimal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the eastern mountain faces. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the flat Kazakh steppe to the vertical landscape of Central Asia. Clear summer days offer the best visibility of Lake Balkhash's unique shape and scale.
Irtysh River
Aerial views of the winding river system shortly after departing Omsk.
Betpak-Dala
The 'Hungry Steppe,' showcasing mesmerizing desert textures and vast, arid wilderness.
Syr Darya Valley
Lush green corridors of irrigated land cutting through the surrounding dry landscape.
Fan Mountains
Jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys visible during the approach to Dushanbe.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a warm golden glow over the desert landscapes. During the descent, watch for the intricate network of canyons and ridges in the Fan Mountains. Seasonal dust storms in late summer can sometimes obscure desert views, making the mountain approach the primary highlight.
