Train journeys

High-speed Afrosiyob trains and scenic railways across Uzbekistan and beyond.

Uzbekistan has one of the best rail networks in the region. The high-speed Afrosiyob links Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara, a railway reaches Khiva, and a tunnel through the mountains connects Tashkent with the Fergana Valley. Kazakhstan has fast trains between Almaty, Astana and Turkistan.

A rail-based itinerary is comfortable, scenic and low-carbon. Seats sell out in high season, so we book early.
