Central asia
September 15-24, 2025

Hop on a train group trip across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan 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, lakes, and ancient cities.

We spent months crafting this route syncing train schedules across borders, blending ancient cities with nature, and finding a pace that feels just right.

In just 10 days, we’ll ride through three countries, watching the world shift outside our train window from mountain lakes to ancient cities and vast open landscapes.

Some days, we’ll settle into the rhythm of the rails sharing stories, playlists, and slow moments. Other days, we’ll be out exploring: walking, tasting and working if needed.

TRIP OVERVIEW

We start in Almaty, where the group meets and the journey begins. Our first train ride takes us to Bishkek, it’s a long stretch, perfect for settling into the rhythm of travel, staring at the window, and getting to know each other. In Kyrgyzstan, we pause. You’ll have the option to spend time in nature, visit Issyk-Kul lake, breathe mountain air, and take a break from the movement. It’s a moment to rest, reset, and just be or have some time for work.


Then we move again through Kazakhstan and into Uzbekistan. We follow the Silk Road, stopping in Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. There’s time to walk, explore, and soak in the atmosphere of each place.


Our final ride takes us through the desert to Khiva, where the journey slows. It's a place to land, reflect, and let the experience settle.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE
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 long windowside silences as the land changes outside.

Silk road ancient cities
Along the way we’ll visit the ancient cities of the Silk Road — Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva. They hold centuries of stories. You’ll see it in the turquoise tiles, feel it in the air, and walk the same paths once used by traders and travelers from across the world.
