TASATQ

Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

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.
