Which side of the plane to sit from Podkamennaya Tunguska Airport (Bor) to Yemelyanovo Airport (Krasnoyarsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular, continuous views of the mighty Yenisei River, the lifeblood of Siberia, along with the dramatic transitions of the Yenisei Ridge.
Yenisei River Meanders
Exceptional views of the winding river channel, sandbars, and seasonal ice floes.
Riverside Settlements
Bird's eye view of remote outposts like Yartsevo and Vorogovo that rely entirely on the river.
Yenisei Ridge
Rugged, forested mountain terrain that borders the western bank of the river.
Industrial Krasnoyarsk
As you descend, view the massive infrastructure and bridges of one of Siberia's largest cities.
Stolby Foothills
Distant glimpses of the unique rock formations of the Stolby Nature Reserve near the destination.
The right side is generally superior for landmark spotting. Sit here to track the river's path throughout the flight. During winter, the patterns of frozen river channels are mesmerizing. Afternoon flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography of the river valley as the sun sets to the west.
Infinite Taiga
Sweeping vistas of the untouched Siberian boreal forest stretching toward the horizon.
Podkamennaya Tunguska
The confluence where the Stony Tunguska joins the Yenisei immediately after takeoff.
Central Siberian Plateau
Ancient, weathered rolling hills and plateaus that define the geography of central Russia.
Angara River Mouth
Aerial perspective of where the massive Angara tributary merges with the Yenisei near Lesosibirsk.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the distinct change in water color where the Angara meets the Yenisei, as the Angara's water is often clearer. This side is best for those seeking the meditative vastness of the uninhabited Siberian wilderness.
