Good to know

  • Night trains reach Samarkand early in the morning. Ask your hotel about early check-in or luggage storage.
  • The morning high-speed train from Khiva continues to Tashkent, so seats to Samarkand compete with longer trips.
  • If you have a spare day, a stop in Bukhara breaks the journey.

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.
