Which side of the plane to sit from Mehrabad International Airport (Teheran) to Gorgan Airport (Gorgan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the majestic Mount Damavand, Iran's highest peak, along with the rugged peaks of the Central Alborz and the sprawling Tehran skyline immediately after takeoff.
Milad Tower
The iconic landmark of Tehran's skyline is often visible shortly after departure from Mehrabad.
Mount Damavand
The undisputed star of the flight, this dormant volcano with its snowy cap is best seen from the right side.
Lar National Park
Spectacular views of the Lar Dam and the high-altitude valleys south of the main Alborz ridge.
Kuh-e Pashureh
Significant limestone peaks and rugged terrain south of the Haraz Road corridor.
Gorgan City View
A view of the provincial capital nestled at the base of the mountains during the final approach.
The right side is essential for viewing Mount Damavand. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the southern and eastern faces of the volcano. Ensure you are looking out approximately 10-15 minutes into the flight, as the encounter with Damavand is brief but breathtaking.
Tehran Western District
Clear views of the western residential areas and Azadi Tower during the initial climb phase.
Tochal Massif
The towering ridges of the Central Alborz mountain range directly north of the capital.
Hyrcanian Forests
The dramatic transition from rocky peaks to the ancient, lush green canopy of northern Iran.
Caspian Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering blue of the Caspian Sea becomes visible on the northern horizon during descent.
Gorgan Plains
The patchwork of fertile agricultural fields surrounding Gorgan city as the plane aligns for landing.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alborz peaks. This side is particularly beautiful in the late afternoon when the northern slopes are bathed in soft light, highlighting the dense greenery of the forests.
