India to/from Central Asia

Does anyone know of any routes from India to/from Central Asia, more precisely to/from Bishkek/Tashkent/Almaty. Presumely they'll be easier through Delhi.

I'm looking to combine a 3 week trip in Central Asia with a stint working in Bangalore. Hopefully it'll work out easier/cheaper to go direct from India rather than returning to London in between.

So far, Turkish Airlines has the route (from Mumbai) but very expensive.

in Winter from 2006/2007 I flew from Birmingham UK to Amritsar via Tashkent and my daughter flew to India (Delhi in, Amritsar out) via Dushanbe, Tajikistan when taking a friend to see the DL. So try Tajik Air or Uzbekistan Airways.

Beware, Tashkent is like a Brezhnev Era theme park, but dig those security police, zombies in crombies.

The other option is to fly to M.E. (read UAE and then India)...

You could get to Bishkek overland via Pakistan and Kashgar, a wonderful trip.

Non-stop From TAS (Tashkent) to DEL on HY (Uzbekistan Airways) Twice a week.
Non-Stop from ALA to DEL on KC (Air Astana) Twice a week. Turkish also flies from DEL twice/thrice a week.
Cannot tell you about fares in absence of approx dates; but expect to pay about 400USD round-trip (consolidator fares might be cheaper)
