Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (Amritsar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the high Pamir Mountains and distant glimpses of the Karakoram giants, including Nanga Parbat, as the flight heads southeast.
Tashkent Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Uzbek capital and the sprawling Tashkent TV Tower shortly after takeoff.
The Pamir Mountains
Breathtaking views of the 'Roof of the World' with glaciated peaks exceeding 7,000 meters in Tajikistan.
Fedchenko Glacier
Potential sightings of the world's longest glacier outside the polar regions in the high Pamirs.
Karakoram Range
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Western Karakoram, including Nanga Parbat, dominate the horizon.
Punjab Plains
The lush green agricultural mosaic of the Indian Punjab as you descend into Amritsar.
Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Pamir and Karakoram peaks. Sit ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the high-altitude terrain. During winter, expect heavy snow cover which enhances the mountain relief.
Tien Shan Foothills
The rugged southwestern edges of the Tien Shan range shortly after departing Uzbekistan.
Hindu Kush
Stunning vistas of the jagged and arid peaks of northeastern Afghanistan.
Kabul River Valley
The deep-cut valleys and river systems flowing from the mountains toward the Indus basin.
Indus River
The mighty Indus River snaking through the landscape as the flight enters Pakistani airspace.
Salt Range
The unique geological formations of the Salt Range in Pakistan before crossing the border into India.
The right side provides excellent views of the rugged Hindu Kush. In summer, watch for dust haze over the plains which can obscure the ground, but the high peaks usually remain clear. Late afternoon flights offer a warm golden glow on the Afghan mountain ridges.
