Khiva – Bukhara train
Khiva → Bukhara · 450 km
From Khiva the fast Jaloliddin Manguberdi train leaves at 07:10 and is in Bukhara by mid-morning, with a second fast departure late in the morning on some days. Afternoon passenger trains bound for Andijan and Tashkent take about six hours and reach Bukhara in the evening or just after midnight.
Khiva station opened in 2018 just outside the town, a short taxi ride from the gates of Ichan-Kala. Bukhara station is in Kagan, about 15 km from the old city.
Tickets are sold on the official Uzbekistan Railways site, eticket.railway.uz, and in its UzRailways Tickets app, as well as at station ticket offices. Every ticket is issued to a named passenger, so you need the passport number when you buy and the passport itself when you board. Sales usually open about 45 days ahead, and the popular departures sell out well before that window closes in spring and autumn.
If you would rather not deal with the booking site, TourEast can buy the tickets for you on request and send them before you travel, or fold the train into a private itinerary with station transfers.

Good to know
- — The 07:10 fast train gives you an afternoon in Bukhara the same day; ask the hotel in Khiva for an early breakfast box.
- — Fast-train seats from Khiva sell out quickly because the same train carries passengers all the way to Tashkent.
- — If you prefer an extra morning in Khiva, the 15:33 passenger train is comfortable in a coupe and arrives in Bukhara for a late dinner.
- — Passenger trains from Urgench, about 30 km away, add a few more options; check them if Khiva departures are full.
- — Ichan-Kala hotels can book a taxi to the station; allow 15–20 minutes including loading luggage.
