Western Tian Shan
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy stunning views of the snow-capped Chatkal and Ugam ranges towering over the Tashkent oasis.
Syr Darya River
Watch the life-giving silver ribbon of Central Asia's longest river as it snakes through the southern Kazakh steppe.
Shardara Reservoir
A massive turquoise expanse of water on the border of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, contrasting sharply with the desert.
Southern Ural Mountains
Approaching Ufa, the landscape transforms into the lush, forested ridges and deep valleys of the Bashkortostan region.
Ufa River Confluence
On final approach, view the scenic meeting point of the Belaya and Ufa rivers surrounding the elevated city peninsula.
The right side is highly recommended for the spectacular mountain views at both the beginning and end of the journey. For the best lighting on the Tian Shan peaks, choose a morning flight; for the Urals, an evening flight offers a beautiful golden hour over the forests.

Kyzylkum Desert
Expansive views of the 'Red Sand' desert, showing unique dune formations and arid steppe landscapes across Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Aral Sea Basin
A somber view of the vast, dried-up seabed of the Aral Sea, showing salt flats and the dramatic environmental change of the region.
Mugodzhar Hills
The low, rocky southern extension of the Ural Mountains providing texture to the flat Kazakh landscape below.
Orsk Industrial Zone
As the flight enters Russian airspace, the sprawling industrial complexes and mines near Orsk are visible.
Sit on the left for a better chance to see the remnants of the Aral Sea, though visibility depends on the specific flight corridor assigned. This side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare while viewing the desert floor.
