Our Recommendation
9.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a world-class view of Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, along with the dense urban sprawl of Tehran against the backdrop of the Alborz mountains.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🗼

Milad Tower

Tehran's iconic telecommunications tower stands out clearly against the city skyline shortly after takeoff.

⛷️

Tochal Complex

The high-altitude ski resort and cable car stations overlooking the wealthy northern districts of Tehran.

🌋

Mount Damavand

The star attraction; the perfectly conical, snow-capped volcanic peak dominates the eastern horizon.

🌊

Caspian Sea Horizon

As the plane clears the mountains, the vast blue expanse of the world's largest inland body of water appears.

🏡

Mazandaran Plains

The narrow, densely populated coastal strip characterized by orange groves and villa developments.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Damavand. Since the flight is extremely short (approx. 40 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Choose an early morning flight for the clearest air; afternoon haze or smog in Tehran can sometimes obscure the mountain views. During winter, the entire range on this side is breathtakingly covered in deep snow.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

West Tehran & Karaj

Panoramic views of the capital's western districts and the neighboring city of Karaj during initial ascent.

🏔️

Central Alborz Ridges

Dramatic, rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the central Alborz mountain range.

🛣️

Chalus Road

The winding, iconic mountain pass known as one of the most beautiful roads in Iran is visible below.

🌲

Hyrcanian Forests

The sudden transition from arid mountain slopes to the lush, ancient green canopy of the northern forests.

⚓

Noshahr Port

Aerial view of the commercial harbor and breakwaters as the plane aligns for its final approach.

Sit on the left if you want to see the dramatic transition of Iran's geography from arid plateau to temperate rainforest. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting on the western mountain faces. Watch for the sharp 'green line' where the moisture from the Caspian Sea hits the Alborz rain shadow.
