  • From Tbilisi to Baku you can go via train #38/37. It goes every day, so there is no problem with that.
  • From Baku you can get to Aktau (Kazakhstan) via ferry. People who used this ferry are saying it has no stable schedule, so you can contact ferry station by phone:

(99412) 493-19-63
(99412) 498-10-13

  • Also you can go to Türkmenbaşy (Turkmenistan), if you want – it much closer, but I can’t find info about transit visa for Turkmenistan.
  • From Aktau you can get to Almaty by train #377.
  • From there you can pass to one of the main border crossing points Dostyk by train #114 (and even to Ürümqi, China by train #014, since in Almaty there is a Chinese embassy).
  • Ürümqi is a large rail point in North China, but the only two points to cross the China-Mongolia border is Zamyn-Üüd and Erenhot, so you need get a train to one of these points.
