Hop on a train group trip across Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and let the rhythm of the rails carry you through places that feel both timeless and unexpected. This journey takes you deep into the contrasts of Central Asia through mountains, deserts and ancient cities.

In 10 days, we’ll move across two countries by land, letting the landscape change gradually outside the train window — ancient cities, open steppe, mountain air. Some days belong to the rails: conversation, reflection, shared music, space to think. Other days pull us outward — walking, tasting, observing, and engaging with the places we pass through.

TRIP OVERVIEW
DAY 1-3, KHIVA
One of the most atmospheric cities along the Silk Road. The journey starts slowly with an evening meetup, time to settle in, and a full day to explore the old city, walk its quiet streets, and feel the rhythm of this place.
DAY 3-5, BUKHARA
On the day 3 we will have a long afternoon train ride that is ideal for reading or watching the dunes landscape outside the window. In Bukhara, we pause again. There will be 2 days to explore the city, balance work and absorb the layers of history without rushing.
DAY 5-7, SAMARKAND
We will take a speed 2h train from Bukhara to Samarkand. We will have 2 days in this beautiful city discovering monumental architecture, open squares,
and moments of stillness between movement.
DAY 7-9, TASHKENT
The journey briefly shifts pace. It’s a capital of Uzbekistan, a contrast to the Silk Road towns and a place to reset before the longest stretch ahead.
DAY 9, NIGHT TRAIN TO ALMATY
It's the longest ride of the journey, also we will experience the border crossing control in the train. We arrive to Kazakhstan, in Almaty in the morning.
DAY 10-11, ALMATY
Almaty is amazing hip city to finish the trip, it has a lot of offer - from a huge variety of restaurants, shops surrounded by beautiful mountains.
UNDERRATED DESTINATION
Central Asia is a region full of contrasts and character and still off the radar for many travelers. Languages shift from town to town. Plates are piled with flatbread, plov, and herbs. From quiet mountain villages to buzzing crossroads, the region holds layers of stories shaped by empires, nomads, and everyday life.
It’s rarely explored by train, but that’s exactly how we’ll travel. Some days we’ll ride sleek high-speed trains at 200 km/h. Others, we’ll slow down in old Soviet carriages that feel suspended in time. There will be tea, local snacks, conversations and windowside silences as the landscape changes.
