Uzbekistan Tours by Train

Discover Uzbekistan by train with OREXCA train tours. Railways link the country’s main cities, giving you the option of high-speed services and overnight trains between Tashkent, the Silk Road city of Samarkand, the UNESCO-listed old town of Bukhara, and the open-air museum of Khiva. Travelling by rail is an excellent way to see the country and meet local people. It is safe, straightforward, and often more economical than other forms of transport.

Getting around Uzbekistan by train is also far more comfortable than travelling by shared taxi or private transfer. You will have ample legroom and the chance to enjoy the journey itself.

Sleeper trains are mainly used on long-distance routes, such as Tashkent–Khiva and Bukhara–Tashkent. Compartments are four-berth “coupe” - type carriages with two lower and two upper berths. Bedding – a pillow, sheet, and blanket – is provided so that you can make up your bed comfortably.
