Pamir Mountains
Breathtaking views of 'The Roof of the World' with jagged, snow-covered peaks immediately after takeoff.
Tien Shan Range
The massive celestial mountains visible to the east as you cross the Kyrgyz-Kazakh border region.
Syr Darya River
The winding path of one of Central Asia's longest rivers cutting through the arid landscape.
Betpak-Dala Desert
The 'Hungry Steppe' region, featuring unique clay deserts and seasonal salt pans.
Ural Mountain Range
The ancient, forested ridges of the Urals appearing as you approach the Sverdlovsk region.
Try to book a morning flight to see the sunrise illuminate the Pamir peaks. This side is consistently more scenic for mountain lovers. During the final 45 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the transition from flat steppe to the rolling hills of the Ural Mountains.
