Good to know

  • Trains to Khiva pass through Urgench, so this ticket often has seats when the Khiva one does not.
  • A taxi from Urgench to Khiva takes you the last 35 km.
  • Travelling on to Nukus later? Urgench is also on that line.

When to book

Seats usually last longer than on the Tashkent – Samarkand – Bukhara line, but weekends and holidays still sell out. A week or two ahead is a safe margin.

Tickets usually go on sale 45 to 60 days before departure. If your date is not on sale yet, request it anyway and we will tell you when it opens.

Stations

Bukhara-1 station (Kagan)

  • The station is in the town of Kagan, roughly 15 km from Bukhara’s old town. Plan a taxi both ways.
