No airline flies STV–TPE non-stop, so you combine an Indian feeder with an international leg. IndiGo and Air India link Surat to Mumbai and Delhi. From there, EVA Air and China Airlines (Taiwan's home carriers), plus Cathay Pacific, Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines, carry you onward via their hubs. EVA Air and China Airlines usually give the cleanest single-ticket connections into Taoyuan, often through Bangkok.
A through-fare on one PNR protects your onward connection and simplifies baggage transfer if the domestic leg runs late.
The best transit points are Bangkok (BKK), Hong Kong (HKG) and Singapore (SIN). A typical routing is STV–Mumbai–Bangkok–Taipei or STV–Delhi–Hong Kong–Taipei. Hong Kong is closest to Taiwan and tends to give the shortest overall time; Bangkok offers the widest choice and competitive fares.
You land at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), about 40 km from central Taipei. Two terminals are linked by a free shuttle, and the Taoyuan Airport MRT reaches Taipei Main Station in roughly 35–40 minutes for around NT$160. Airport buses operate 24 hours and taxis cost about NT$1,000–1,200 into the city. The airport offers free Wi-Fi, currency exchange and convenience stores, with quick immigration for e-visa and TAC holders.
Economy long-haul tickets to Taipei usually include 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, and EVA Air and China Airlines typically allow 30 kg in economy on the Taipei sector. If your Surat feeder is a low-cost fare, checked baggage may be capped at 15 kg, so book a through-fare or pre-purchase extra allowance to avoid double charges. Always plan around the most restrictive segment's limit.
Economy round-trips from western India to Taipei typically run ₹42,000–₹74,000 depending on season and routing. The cheapest windows are February–April and September–November, when weather is pleasant and demand moderate. Fares jump around the December–January holidays and the July–August summer break. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead and staying flexible on the hub usually secures the best deals.
Taipei pairs a high-tech city with easy nature escapes. Visitors enjoy Taipei 101, the Shilin and Raohe night markets, Beitou hot springs, and day trips to Jiufen, Yangmingshan and Taroko Gorge. The city is popular with Indian students in engineering and Mandarin programmes, and with professionals visiting Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Strong Buddhist food culture means vegetarian dishes are easy to find, which suits many Gujarati and other Indian travellers.
Indian nationals generally need a visa for Taiwan, but those holding a valid visa or residence card from the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, Schengen, Australia or New Zealand can apply online for a free Travel Authorization Certificate (ROC TAC) for stays up to 14 or 30 days.
