Many Indians travel from Pune to Tashkent for business, education, and tourism, drawn by Uzbekistan's rich history and cultural exchange opportunities. Tashkent offers a blend of Soviet-era architecture and modern development, alongside traditional bazaars and Islamic art.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Tashkent is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant during these months, avoiding the extreme heat of summer and the cold of winter. Navruz, the Persian New Year, in March/April, is a vibrant time to experience local culture.

Tashkent International Airport (TAS) is well connected to the city center. You can take a taxi for around 30,000 to 50,000 UZS. Alternatively, the metro is a cheaper option, costing a few thousand UZS, but requires a change at one of the central stations.
