I'm in Astrakhan, Russia. There's very little information out there on buses or trains to use to eventually get to Aktau, Kazakhstan.

bahn.de shows a 75 hour train with 3 changes, so I have no idea what crazy route that's taking as it's really not that far.

I think in theory I can get to Atyrau first, and then a connection from there to Aktau, but this is all in theory only; I may just have to wing it when I get there - unless you guys can help with some more info? :)

According to this conversation, there is no ferries across the Caspian sea on this route (except some rumours I don't believe to), and all people suggests two types of trip:

  1. Plane company "Skat", phone in Astrakhan: 8(8512) 39 03 62, 8(8512) 39 41 95
  2. Train from Astrakhan to Mangystau (20km from Aktau)

I think the second one is exactly you are looking for.
