Practical tips
While not applicable for Kokand to Fergana, remember to book your Afrosiyob tickets for Tashkent-Samarkand-Bukhara several days in advance, especially during peak season. Seats sell out quickly, and you don't want to be stuck with a slower, longer train option. Plan ahead!
For the far western cities like Khiva (via Urgench) and Nukus, an 11-hour train or bus ride can be exhausting. A domestic flight, though pricier (€55-90), can save you a full day of travel. Weigh the time saving against the cost for these specific legs.
Tashkent and Bukhara, for instance, have multiple train stations. Always double-check which specific station your train departs from to avoid last-minute confusion and ensure you head to the correct terminal. A quick check saves a lot of stress.
For short hops within the Fergana Valley, local shared taxis and marshrutkas (minibuses) are very common and convenient if you miss a bus or train. They're frequent, affordable, and a great way to experience local travel.
For trains, especially Afrosiyob, booking online through official platforms or trusted third-party sites like 12go.asia provides instant confirmation and avoids language barriers at the station. It's often the most reliable way to secure your seat.
