Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Western Tian Shan mountain range as the aircraft approaches Tashkent, offering a dramatic visual conclusion to the journey across the flat Kazakh steppe.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Irtysh River

Visible shortly after departure, the winding Irtysh River dominates the southern Siberian landscape near Omsk.

🌾

Kazakh Uplands

Glimpses of the rolling Saryarka steppe region, characterized by its golden hues and unique geological formations.

🏔️

Tian Shan Mountains

The spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Chatkal and Pskem ranges appear during the descent into Uzbekistan.

🏞️

Chirchiq Valley

A lush, green contrast to the desert, this valley marks the fertile entry point into the Tashkent oasis.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun glare while capturing the best views of the rising mountain ranges. The final 20 minutes of the flight are the most visually rewarding on this side.

Right Side Highlights

✈️

Southern Omsk

Aerial views of the industrial suburbs and the transition from city to rural Siberian agriculture.

🏜️

Betpak-Dala Desert

The vast and arid 'Hungry Steppe' displays fascinating salt pans and dry riverbeds from high altitude.

💧

Syr Darya River

One of the longest rivers in Central Asia, visible as a silver ribbon near the Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan border.

🏙️

Tashkent Skyline

A wide-angle view of the Uzbekistan capital, including the iconic Tashkent TV Tower, during the landing sequence.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the desert horizons. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Syr Darya for the best light on the Tashkent city outskirts.
