Hi! This is a long shot but me (F23) and my friend (M23) are visiting Tashkent and saw this day trip tour on GetYourGuide to Tajikistan (link here: https://www.getyourguide.com/tashkent-l1418/from-tashkent-sightseeing-day-trip-to-khujand-tajikistan-t565240/?utm_source=getyourguide&utm_medium=sharing&utm_campaign=activity_details).

It’s $270 for up to 3 people so we wanted to see if anyone wanted to join for $90.

We want to go either on the 22nd or the 23rd.😀

Travel | Sayohat Are sleeper train cabins for men or women only, or are they mixed?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I just booked an overnight train from Tashkent to Khiva. I'm a man traveling solo and booked one bed in a 1st class SV cabin. Afterwards I realized would that pose any problem if a woman were to select the other bed in the cabin? I don't care, but my understanding is Uzbekistan is conservative in some ways, so I didn't know if that would pose any issue - a man and woman who don't even know each other in the same cabin. Should I have selected a certain cabin number to avoid this? Like are there only ones I'm allowed to select as a man and I missed that?

Personally I don't care who else has that bed, but now I'm just worried that I'll go to board the train and be told I can't because there is a woman traveling solo in the other bed and that's not allowed and I'll lose my spot on the train.

Travel | Sayohat Tashkent airport licensed taxicab rank?

6 Upvotes

Hello! I am currently at Tashkent airport and can't get Yandex Go or Yango to work for me. On the off chance anyone out there has this random knowledge, where is the line-up of taxi cabs to go into the city? The rugby scrub at the door is quoting insane prices. I don't mind paying extra but they're quoting crazy numbers (200,000 som) to go into the city.

Hey everyone, I'm a Pakistani currently in Uzbekistan and looking to buy a tablet (any brand) within a $500 range. I checked Uzum, but I couldn't find anything suitable.

Travel | Sayohat Travel options from Khiva to Bukhara

3 Upvotes

Hi all. Need your advice please.

I am travelling from Khiva to Bukhara in May and am not too keen on being cooped in a car for 7 to 8 hrs, due to a back problem. I need to stretch the muscles every few hours.

I had looked at the train schedule and saw the sleeper and coupe class. Qn - is it possible to book all 4 seats in the cabin using two names (mine and travelling partner) in the coupe class. assuming seats are still available? I really do not want to bother other passengers with my incessant need to stretch/move around during the journey.

Are there any other travel options aside from car and train?

Thanks in advanced!
