Ashgabat/Tashkent

Does anyone have any information on how to get from
Tehran,Iran to Ashgabat or Tashkent? I'm planning on
visiting Iran this summer with a group. I would like to
connect with another tour that starts in Ashgabat or
Tashkent. None of the major airlines (USA) seems to even
know where these places are. Is it expensive? Is it
possible to go overland? Any information would be most
welcome. Thanks
Terry

   Terry,
   There are direct flights from Tehran to both cities you
   mentioned ( Ashgabat and Tashkent )as well as indirect
   flights ( cheaper ones ) from Mashad. I went to Ashgabat
   last July!
   E.g. Tehran-Tashkent (direct): $150
   There are several daily bus services from Mashad to
   Ashgabat. So you can go over-land too. Takes about 4 hours,
   depending on how long they delay you at border.

   P.S. You got my mail of April 14th?
