Ural Horizon
On days with high visibility, the faint silhouette of the Ural Mountains can be seen far to the west.
Tyumen Urban Center
Excellent views of the Tura River embankment and the city's historic and modern skyline.
Roshchino Approach
A close-up view of the airport's technical infrastructure and the surrounding suburban developments.
Sit on the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the numerous Siberian lakes. As you approach TJM, the right side usually provides the best view of the city center if the flight follows the standard northern approach path. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Tura River for the best urban shots.

Vast Siberian Taiga
Dense, unbroken stretches of coniferous forest typical of the Khanty-Mansiysk region.
Konda River Meanders
Intricate oxbow lakes and winding water paths carved through the soft Siberian soil.
Agricultural Transition
A visible shift from wild wilderness to the organized rectangular patterns of Southern Tyumen farmland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is ideal for observing the geometric patterns of the Konda River basin. During the winter, the frozen river beds create high-contrast silver threads against the dark forest.
