Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the majestic Fan Mountains and the Pamir-Alay range during the descent into Tajikistan, offering dramatic snow-capped peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Southern Ural Tail

The final rolling ridges of the Ural Mountains as the flight leaves Russian airspace.

🇰🇿

Saryarka Steppe

The vast, undulating grasslands of central Kazakhstan appearing as a golden sea.

💧

Syr Darya River

A vital ribbon of water cutting through the arid landscapes of southern Kazakhstan.

🌆

Tashkent Skyline

Large urban sprawl and the green belts of the Uzbekistan capital visible on clear days.

🏔️

Fan Mountains

Breathtaking high-altitude peaks and turquoise alpine lakes visible during the approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Pamir foothills. This side is also best for seeing the contrast between the Kyzylkum desert and the fertile Fergana Valley in the distance. During winter, the mountain views are particularly striking with deep snow cover.

Right Side Highlights
6.7
⛰️

Mugodzhar Hills

The rocky, ancient extension of the Urals into northwestern Kazakhstan.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Intricate wind-blown patterns and red sand dunes stretching toward the horizon.

🧂

Aral Basin

Distant glimpses of the vast white salt flats and dry seabed of the eastern Aral Sea.

🚜

Vakhsh Valley

The dense patchwork of irrigated agricultural fields as you land in Bokhtar.

🌊

Amu Darya

The wide, silt-heavy river marking the border regions of Central Asia.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Look for the unique 'barkhan' sand dune formations in the Kazakh deserts. In the spring, the desert floor briefly turns green, providing a rare color palette from above.
