Southern Ural Foothills
Initial views of the ancient, weathered peaks of the Ural range as you depart the Sverdlovsk region.
Kazakh Saryarka
The vast, golden landscapes of the Kazakh Uplands, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique steppe ecology.
Ishim River Meanders
Intricate, winding patterns of the Ishim River cutting through the northern Kazakh plains.
Trans-Ili Alatau
The northern ramparts of the Tien Shan mountains appearing as a jagged wall of rock and ice on the horizon.
Fergana Range
Dramatic, high-altitude ridges with permanent snow cover that dominate the skyline during the approach to Osh.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight illuminating the mountain faces. The final 30 minutes of the flight are the most scenic as the aircraft descends over the Kyrgyz border. Bring a polarizing filter for your camera to cut through the high-altitude atmospheric haze common over the Central Asian steppe.

Yekaterinburg Skyline
A sweeping view of the 'Capital of the Urals' immediately after takeoff from Koltsovo.
Turgay Depression
The unique geological formations and eroded plateaus of central Kazakhstan's arid heartland.
Syr Darya River
One of the longest rivers in Central Asia, visible as a life-giving green ribbon through the dry landscape.
Fergana Valley Mosaic
A patchwork of intensive agriculture and ancient settlements that form the most fertile region in Central Asia.
Sulayman-Too
The UNESCO-listed sacred mountain located in the center of Osh, visible during the final landing configuration.
The right side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Keep your eyes peeled during the final descent into Osh; the right side often provides a clearer view of the city center and the distinct silhouette of Sulayman-Too mountain. In winter, this side offers incredible views of the frozen river systems in the Kazakh steppe.
