Train between Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan)
Odubarry · 2007-01-10
I wanted to know if it’s possible to go from Tashkent to Almaty by train without passing through Kyrgyzstan. I’ve heard the border is often closed 😕 between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Thanks in advance!

No problem; the train doesn’t (legally) cross the Kyrgyzstan border. But if needed, it’s best to book your return trip directly from Almaty: getting a ticket in Tashkent is a real challenge.

Is it hard to get a Tashkent-Almaty train ticket?
Do you know how often the trains run, how long the trip takes, and the price?
Thanks for your tips! 🙂

Okay, obviously, this answer is about a question that people under 20 won’t know, but since the search engine leads here anyway...
Starting December 14th, there’s a daily train between Almaty and Tashkent.
