Best Time to Visit Uzbekistan From India: Spring and Autumn Are Comfortable, Summer Is 40°C
Uzbekistan's Silk Road cities are best in April to June and September to October. July and August are very hot; winter is cold and quiet.
Quick answer: The best time to visit Uzbekistan is April to June and September to October, when Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva are warm and comfortable for walking. July and August often reach 40°C, which makes midday sightseeing hard. November to March is cold, sometimes with snow, but you get the monuments with fewer crowds.
Uzbekistan by season

| November to March | Cold; some snow | Hotels are cheaper; short days |
Planning tips
A classic route is Tashkent (one night), Samarkand (two), Bukhara (two) and Khiva (one to two), linked by the high-speed Afrosiyob train between Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara. Dress modestly for mosques and madrasas. Cash is still handy outside big hotels, so carry some US dollars and exchange locally.
How many days do I need?
Six to seven nights for the full circuit.
Do Indians need a visa?
Check the current visa rules for Indian passport holders before booking; Uzbekistan has been relaxing entry rules, and an online visa may apply.
