About the Tashkent → Delhi route
Tashkent to Delhi is a short-haul route that punches well above its weight. At just 1,580 km, you're looking at under two hours in the air — I've spent longer in queues at duty-free. IndiGo (6E) is one of the carriers working this route, alongside HY (Uzbekistan Airways) and a couple of others, so you've got options. This isn't a backpacker corridor exactly — it pulls a real mix of business travelers, diaspora families, and people who've figured out that Central Asia and South Asia make a genuinely brilliant back-to-back trip.
Why travel from Tashkent to Delhi?
Honestly, Delhi rewards you fast. The Mughal architecture alone — Humayun's Tomb, the Red Fort, the sheer scale of Jama Masjid — hits different when you're coming from Uzbekistan, because you can literally see the shared history written into the stonework. A lot of Uzbek travelers I've met make this trip specifically for medical tourism, which is a huge draw given Delhi's specialized hospitals. Then there's the food — Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk is the kind of place that ruins you for normal eating. Business travelers move constantly between the two countries on trade, and family connections run deep thanks to decades of South Asian communities in Central Asia. It's rarely a casual trip. People come with purpose.

Practical tips for TAS → DEL
Avoid October through March if you're heat-sensitive — that's actually Delhi's most bearable window, so go then. Monsoon season (July-August) means chaos, delays, and humidity you cannot prepare for. At DEL, the metro connection from Terminal 3 straight into central Delhi is genuinely one of the best airport rail links in Asia — cheap, fast, skip the taxi altogether. You'll need an Indian e-Visa sorted before you fly; it's straightforward online. If you're on a low-cost carrier, check baggage allowances carefully — carry-on limits vary. Delhi runs on Indian Rupees, and English gets you surprisingly far everywhere.
