Tashkent (2N) – Samarkand (1N) – Bukhara (1N) – Tashkent (1N) · all by Afrosiyob bullet train
The classic Silk Road in six days. You travel Tashkent → Samarkand → Bukhara → Tashkent entirely on the Afrosiyob bullet train, sleeping a night in each of the two great caravan cities. It’s the route most of our clients choose for a first proper Uzbekistan trip, with 4★ hotels in every city and a private car and guide throughout. The trip starts and ends at Tashkent airport, so you can fly in from any Indian city.
Samarkand is the showpiece. Registan Square, framed by three tiled madrasas, is the image most people have of Uzbekistan — and staying overnight means you can see it lit up after dark. Add Gur-i-Emir, the giant Bibi Khanum Mosque and the blue-tiled tombs of Shah-i-Zinda.
Bukhara feels like a living old town. Life still centres on Lyabi Hauz, and a short walk takes you under domed bazaars to the 47-metre Kalyan Minaret, which has stood since the 12th century. Don’t miss Sitorai Mokhi Khosa, the last emir’s summer palace, with its mix of Russian and Uzbek design.
In Tashkent you’ll see the Hazrati Imam complex, Amir Temur Square and the Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial, where India’s second Prime Minister signed the Tashkent Declaration in 1966.
Why go now? Since 1 September 2026, Indians with a valid multiple-entry US, UK or Schengen visa can visit visa-free for 30 days; everyone else gets an e-visa online in about three working days. See our Uzbekistan visa guide for Indians.
Good to know: you change hotels three times, so a medium suitcase per person is easier on the trains. The Afrosiyob sells out weeks ahead in spring and autumn — book 6–8 weeks before travel. Flights are booked separately from your city. A child pays the adult rate; an infant travels free.
Other ways to see Uzbekistan: add the Chimgan Mountains with Uzbekistan Delight, 7 days, or take a shorter break with our 4-day Tashkent tour package. To compare every route, see all our Uzbekistan tour packages from India.
