The high-intent route
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.
Signature experiences
- Walk through the lanes and markets of Kashgar Old City.
- Drive the China–Pakistan Highway toward the Pamir Plateau.
- See White Sand Lake, Karakul Lake and Muztagh Ata.
