FROM ALMATY TO TASHKENT AND NUKUS BY TRAIN (Updated on 03.03.2012)
TRIP WITHOUT CHANGING TRAINSThere is only one direct train connecting Almaty with Tashkent. Train # 021 "Almaty - Nukus". DEPARTURE FROM ALMATY Each Sunday At 12:47 (00:47 PM) From Almaty-2 ARRIVAL IN TASHKENT Each Monday At 14:42 (02:42 PM) To Tashkent Centralny DEPARTURE FROM TASHKENT Each Monday At 15:32 (03:32 PM) From Tashkent Centralny ARRIVAL IN NUKUS Each Tuesday At 11:50 AM TO TASHKENT BY R/W VIA ARYS, TIMUR OR TURKESTANActually the most close located to Tashkent Kazakh r/w station is Arys. Unfortunately now all Kazakh trains stop there in Arys at Arys-2 r/w station and all the trains passing Arys on their way to Tashkent stop at Arys-1 r/w station. Although to hire a taxi for access from Arys-2 to Arys-1 wouldn't be expensive. Backpackers even can walk from Arys-2 to Arys-1. To see the map of access from Arys-2 to Arys-1 visit the link "ARYS-1/ARYS-2 ACCESS MAP" on the right side of this page. The next closest Kazakh station is Timur (about 1 hour by train from Arys) but suitable trains stop there only for 5 minutes what makes leaving and taking them very inconvenient. Turkestan is just in two hours by train distance from Arys and trains stop there for 20 minutes. Waiting time is about 2-3 hours only. Besides it it is possible to use this time for brief exploring of Khodja Akhmet Yassawi Mausoleum and the ruins of the old town in the historical center of Turkestan through hiring a taxi at the railway station. There is a storehouse at the railway station where it is possible to leave the luggage for temporary storage. Since Turkestan on its own is one of the most interesting cultural places of Kazakhstan, it wouldn't be boring at all even to spend in this city one full day and to take train to Tashkent on the next day. It looks like that so far the most fast non direct access by railway from Almaty to Tashkent would be taking in Almaty-2 at 6:32 PM train #033 "Almaty-2 - Aktobe" till Arys-2 on Wednesday or Friday and then taking train #006 "Moscow Kazanskaya - Tashkent" on the next day at 12:58 in Arys-1. In this case you are leaving Almaty at 6:32 PM and you will be in Tashkent at 6:25 PM on the next day.
