GARE FERROVIAIRE

The reopening of the railroad line between Tashkent and the Ferghana Valley is a major progress for the Uzbeks as well as for the tourists, allowing the opening up of the cities of the valley up to the border of Kyrgyzstan. In terms of safety, the train is obviously a thousand times preferable to the road, even if the latter remains open for aficionados of strong emotions. Trains run every day, departure at 8:05 am from Tashkent (12:09 pm in Kokand and 1:49 pm in Andijan). The cost is 25 US$ per person in economy class.
