Route

Tashkent to Khiva train

Since May 2026 a high-speed train reaches Khiva from the capital in about seven and a half hours. It only runs on some days, so the overnight sleeper is still the everyday option.

Good to know

  • The high-speed train runs a few days a week and sells out quickly. Check the calendar and keep the night train as a fallback.
  • If Khiva is full, try Urgench: it is about 35 km away and has more trains.
  • On the sleeper, tell us whether you prefer a 2-berth or 4-berth compartment. Big suitcases must fit inside the compartment.

This is one of the busiest routes in the country. Book as soon as your dates are fixed, especially for April–May, September–October, Fridays, Sundays and public holidays.
