OVB → HMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk) to Khanty Mansiysk Airport (Khanty-Mansiysk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the mighty Ob River's winding path and the spectacular confluence of the Ob and Irtysh rivers during the final approach into Khanty-Mansiysk.

Novosibirsk Skyline
A great view of Russia's third-largest city and the OVB airport complex shortly after takeoff.
Ob River Valley
The flight largely follows the course of this massive river, showing its expansive floodplains and intricate sandbars.
Energy Infrastructure
Faint views of oil extraction sites and pipelines that define the economy of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
Great Confluence
The dramatic meeting point of the Ob and Irtysh rivers, clearly visible just before landing at HMA.
The right side is essential for the Ob-Irtysh confluence. For the best photography, a morning flight provides the best lighting on the river surfaces. In winter, look for the 'ice roads' carved across the frozen rivers, which look like white threads from above.

Vasyugan Swamp
The southern portion of one of the world's largest wetlands, appearing as an endless tapestry of moss and water.
Irtysh River Meanders
Glimpses of the winding Irtysh river as it snakes northwards to meet the Ob.
West Siberian Taiga
Dense, dark coniferous forests that characterize the vast wilderness between Novosibirsk and the northern oil hubs.
Remote Settlements
Isolated Siberian villages and logging outposts connected only by seasonal winter roads or river transport.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the sheer scale of the Siberian wetlands. During autumn, the Vasyugan Swamp turns into a vibrant palette of reds and oranges. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine glare and maximize the horizon view.
