Afrosiyob: one of the options
Check the train name for each leg: not every high-speed service is an Afrosiyob.
Which train and class should you choose?
Other daytime trains
Trains such as Sharq also have seated carriages. Compare arrival times as well as fares: a cheaper option may take longer. The classes offered depend on the train.
Overnight trains
For an overnight journey, ask whether berths are available in platskart, kupe or SV. Platskart has open sleeping areas, kupe has enclosed compartments, and SV usually has two berths per compartment. Check the carriage category and whether you have an upper or lower berth.
Routes for travelling around Uzbekistan
Choose a route and tell CAJ your travel date. The departure, journey time and seats need to be checked for your chosen option. A return journey and each onward leg are checked separately.
Tashkent — Samarkand
Afrosiyob Compare departure times
Consider Afrosiyob and other trains on this route. For a day trip, check both departures against your sightseeing plans. If you must return that evening, arrange the return ticket before your excursion.
Tashkent — Bukhara
Afrosiyob Check the arrival station
Afrosiyob connects Tashkent with Bukhara. If you choose another train, compare its journey time and type of seat. Give your driver the station name printed on your ticket and allow time to reach your hotel.
Samarkand — Bukhara
Travel between the two cities Choose a convenient departure
This leg lets you continue your trip after Samarkand. Check trains and classes for your date, then plan your hotel checkout around the departure. If you want to stop along the way, compare the train with a road transfer.
Tashkent — Khiva
Jaloliddin Manguberdi A separate high-speed train
The Jaloliddin Manguberdi high-speed service between Tashkent and Khiva started on 5 May 2026. It is a different train from Afrosiyob. Compare it with conventional trains for your date, including an overnight option if one is available.
Urgench — Tashkent
Returning from Khorezm Urgench and Khiva are different stations
If you are returning via Urgench, specify that station. Khiva and Urgench are separate departure points. For an overnight journey, check the berth and carriage category in advance; for any train, check when it reaches Tashkent.
Tashkent — Fergana Valley
New CRRC-Dalian electric train Kokand · Margilan · Andijan
On 10 September 2026, the new CRRC-Dalian electric train made its first journey from Tashkent to Andijan via Kokand and Margilan. A separate local electric train launched in April 2026 runs on a circular route through Kokand, Namangan, Andijan and Margilan. Tell CAJ your destination and date: the departure, seats and train type are checked separately.
How much does a train ticket cost?
There is no single fare for a pair of cities: the price depends on the train, date and class. Before paying, confirm the total for everyone travelling, the payment currency and any fees. An old price example does not confirm the fare or a seat for your journey.
When contacting CAJ, list each leg in order and say whether your date or departure time is flexible. Ask what the total includes, how to pay and which cancellation terms apply to your ticket. If you also need a transfer or excursion, ask for it to be quoted separately.
What to tell CAJ when you enquire
Route and date
Give the departure city, arrival city and date for each journey. Include a return leg if needed. Mention any flight, excursion or other commitment that limits your travel time.
Passengers, seats and berths
Give the number of adults and each child’s age on the travel date. State your preferred class, whether you need a seat or berth, and any preference for an upper or lower berth. If you need boarding assistance, discuss it in advance for the specific train and station.
Price and conditions
Ask for the train, date, class, full price, currency and fees together. Discuss alternatives in case your preferred seats or berths are unavailable. Read the booking and cancellation conditions before paying.
Passenger details and your ticket
Use the exact details of the identity document you will carry on the journey. Foreign visitors need the passport they will travel with. Once the ticket is issued, check the passenger details, date, stations, train and seat or berth. Save the ticket itself: an enquiry or message does not replace it.
Documents and boarding
Identity document and e-ticket
Carry the original identity document named on your ticket. On a domestic service with electronic registration, you can show the QR code on your phone if scanning equipment is available at the checkpoint. Download the PDF in advance so you can open it offline; an A4 printout is a useful backup. For international trains, check separately whether you need to exchange the e-ticket at a ticket office.
Station and arrival time
Check the station name and local departure time on your ticket. The railway recommends reaching the checkpoint at least 30 minutes before departure. Allow extra time to get to the station and for possible delays.
Children and luggage
Include every child in your enquiry, even if they may qualify for free travel. Before the journey, confirm the required identity document and arrangements for a separate child ticket. Check the luggage allowance for your train and ask about large items in advance. Keep aisles, seats and berths free of luggage.
When to choose a train or a private transfer
Train travel between cities
A train works well if its departure and arrival fit your plans. Compare the whole journey: travel from your hotel to the station, checks, the train ride and the transfer after arrival. For an overnight journey, decide whether you need a berth to sleep.
A car with a driver
Consider a private transfer if you need pickup at a specific address, stops along the way or a departure time that trains cannot offer. Give the addresses, passenger numbers, luggage details and requested stops. The price and journey time for a road transfer are quoted separately.
Questions about train tickets
How far ahead do tickets go on sale?
Under the current ticketing terms, sales open no earlier than 60 days before the train leaves its starting station, at 10:00 local time there. The operator may change the opening date. If your trip is still some way off, tell CAJ your date and ask when sales are expected to open. An early enquiry does not mean a ticket has been issued.
How do I book tickets with CAJ?
Send your route, date, passenger numbers and preferred class through the CAJ contact page. Say whether you need a return ticket, station pickup or an excursion. Before booking, confirm the specific train, full price and applicable conditions. Once the ticket is issued, check all its details.
What if my preferred seats are unavailable?
Tell CAJ which dates, classes and departure times would work for you. A conventional or overnight train may be an option if it serves your route. A place is not confirmed until a ticket has been issued.
Can I change the date or get a refund?
This depends on the ticket conditions and where it was bought. Changing the date may require a refund and a new purchase, and deductions may apply. If CAJ issued your ticket, contact us as soon as possible and ask about the process before cancelling. A full refund is not guaranteed.
Does the train fare include a station transfer?
Do not assume that it does. The ticket covers the rail journey shown on it. Station pickup, hotels, guides and excursions must be agreed separately if you need them.
Which train goes to Khiva?
The Tashkent — Khiva route has the Jaloliddin Manguberdi high-speed service, launched in May 2026. Check the name, number and date of the specific train when choosing your ticket. Conventional and overnight options also need to be checked for your travel date.
Can I book a Fergana Valley tour with train travel?
CAJ offers two-day and three-day programmes. The two-day trip takes you by train to Kokand and returns by road over Kamchik Pass. On the three-day trip, you arrive by train in Andijan and return from Kokand; travel between towns in the valley is by road. CAJ will confirm a suitable departure and train type when arranging your chosen date.
