Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Gissar Range and the dramatic, jagged cliffs of the Boysun region, providing some of Central Asia's most rugged mountain scenery.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Gissar Mountain Range

Stunning views of the western Pamir-Alay peaks, often snow-capped even in late spring.

⛰️

Boysun Mountains

Dramatic limestone cliffs and deep canyons, including the legendary 'Iron Gates' pass.

🛤️

Surkhandarya Valley

The green oasis floor contrasting sharply against the surrounding arid mountain walls.

🇦🇫

Afghan Border Peaks

Distant views of the Hindu Kush foothills rising across the Amu Darya river as you approach Termez.

Book a seat on the left side for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the western faces of the Gissar mountains. This side is significantly more scenic as the flight path hugs the eastern mountain corridor.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏜️

Kyzylkum Edge

The eastern fringes of the Great Red Sand desert visible as the plane heads south.

💧

South Surkhan Reservoir

A large, artificial turquoise lake that serves as a vital water source for the region's cotton fields.

🏙️

Termez Cityscape

A full view of Uzbekistan's southernmost city and its archaeological outskirts during the final descent.

The right side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the desert. It offers a clearer view of the South Surkhan Reservoir approximately 15 minutes before landing at TMJ.
