Asked on March 1st, 2025I and my 16 yr old son would like to join this tour. We will be flying in from Singapore. I'm a vegetarian. Is that managed? Also, we would like to do 2 days in Tajikistan. Can we go from Khiva to Dushanbe without coming back to Tashkent? if so, will you adjust the price?
- Steppe JourneysOperator•Written March 2025
You can go to Dushanbe from Khiva to Samarkand and from Samarkand to Penjikent from Penjikent to Dushanbe. But there is no direct flight or train between two cities. It is much better If you fly from Khiva to Tashkent and from Tashkent to Dushanbe, it will be $200 pp, 2 flights Urgench to Tashkent and Tashkent to Dushanbe. Train is very long more than 16 hrs and cross the land birder and take taxi tp Penjikent from Penjiken to Dushnabe 350 km 5 hrs drive. It will be more expensive than 200 USD pp.
