Silk Road by Train Tour, travel from Isfahan to Almaty. Visit 4 countries
This great train journey brings you along the Silk Road, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for every traveller. With modern trains nowadays it's much easier than explorers like Marco Polo. But the thrilling adventure and the marvelous sights to be seen are still there. You will start the journey in Iran's most beautiful city; legendary Isfahan. From here a train journey right cross the desert brings you to the holy city of Mashad. A short crossing on the border and from the Turkmen capital Ashgabat the train journey continues to Mary, where you can visit the remains of the famous Silk Road city of Merw. In Uzbekistan the high speed trains bring you from Buchara to Samarkand and Tashkent. Last party of the journey goes through the immense country of Kazachstan, ending in Almaty, on the edge of the snow capped Tien Shan mountains.
