OVB → DYU
Which side of the plane to sit from Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk) to Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the Siberian plains to the colossal high-altitude mountain ranges of the Tien Shan and the Pamir-Alay.

Kulunda Plain
The flight begins over the fertile agricultural 'breadbasket' of Southern Siberia and Northern Kazakhstan.
Lake Balkhash
Glimpses of the eastern crescent of this massive, uniquely semi-freshwater lake in the Kazakh steppe.
Tien Shan Range
A magnificent panorama of the 'Celestial Mountains' with snow-capped peaks exceeding 5,000 meters.
Alay Valley Peaks
Rugged, glaciated terrain marking the border region between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Choose a morning flight if possible; the rising sun provides spectacular side-lighting on the eastern faces of the Tien Shan mountains.

Central Kazakh Steppe
Vast, seemingly endless horizons of the Saryarka region, characterized by rolling plains and low hills.
Betpak-Dala Edge
Views of the 'Hungry Steppe,' a desolate desert region in central Kazakhstan known for its harsh terrain.
Gissar Range
The final mountain barrier visible during the descent into the Dushanbe valley from the north.
Dushanbe Outskirts
A detailed view of the Varzob River valley and the expanding urban layout of Tajikistan's capital.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. During the final 15 minutes of flight, watch for the dramatic transition from the high Gissar peaks to the fertile Dushanbe basin.
