How to spend less without ruining the trip
- Book Afrosiyob tickets as soon as sales open; cheaper Sharq trains are slower but fine for Samarkand–Bukhara.
- Stay in family-run boutique hotels inside the old towns; they cost less than chain hotels and save on taxis.
- Hire a guide for half a day per city rather than full days; the old towns are compact and walkable.
- Carry clean, recent US dollar notes for exchange; worn notes may be refused.
- Travel in late March, early November or winter for the lowest hotel rates, if you can handle cooler weather.
How much does an Uzbekistan trip cost from India?
For a 6-night trip covering Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, plan on about ₹78,000 per person at mid-range, twin sharing, including non-stop return flights from Delhi and the e-visa. Land-only, the same trip starts around ₹45,000. Budget versions start near ₹62,000, and luxury trips with 5★ hotels and a private guide start from about ₹1.45 lakh.
Uzbekistan is very good value on the ground. Monument tickets are a few hundred rupees each, trains are cheap, and boutique hotels inside the old towns cost less than comparable rooms in Turkey or Georgia.
Where does the money go?
Flights from Delhi are short, about 3 hours non-stop. Other cities usually connect via Delhi or Sharjah, adding ₹8,000–12,000.
Hotels are the largest ground cost. Charming family-run hotels in Samarkand and Bukhara cost ₹3,000–6,000 a night for a double; Tashkent has more international chains at higher rates.
Trains link the three cities. The Afrosiyob high-speed train takes about 2 hours from Tashkent to Samarkand and around 1.5 hours on to Bukhara. Three economy legs cost about ₹5,000–8,000 per person.
Guides and entries are modest. A local guide for half a day in each city adds depth for a reasonable fee, and most monuments charge a few hundred rupees.
Visa and money
At the time of review, Indian passport holders use a single-entry e-visa costing about USD 20, usually issued within a few working days. A 30-day visa-free regime for Indians was announced in August 2026, but we had not seen it confirmed in force. Check the latest on our Uzbekistan visa guide.
The som is the local currency. Cards work in larger hotels and some restaurants, but cash still matters in bazaars and small cafés. Carry crisp US dollars to exchange at banks, or use ATMs in cities. Our foreign exchange service can help. Overseas packages bought from an Indian operator attract TCS, adjustable against your income tax.
Adding Khiva costs roughly two extra hotel nights, a long train or car transfer and a flight from Urgench to Tashkent, about ₹15,000–22,000 more per person.
