More than a Kashgar city break

South Xinjiang rewards time. The compact version introduces Kashgar and the Pamir highway; the longer version continues across desert roads, oasis towns and the quieter landscapes of the southern route.

This is a flexible private itinerary rather than a fixed coach package. Your consultant can shape the route around your travel dates, group size and comfort level.
