Exploring the Hidden Gems of Ili Grasslands:2026 Summer Group Tour with Airport Transfer Guide
🌿 [Route Highlights:Symphony of Grasslands and Lakes]
The summer in Ili Valley is like a palette overturned by the Creator—the spruce forests and wildflower seas of Nalati Alpine Grassland intertwine, Sayram Lake, known as the “Last Tear of the Atlantic,” reflects the snow-capped mountains, and the purple waves of lavender fields in Huocheng undulate with the wind. In summer 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches the “Deep Grassland and Lake Loop,” covering three core scenic areas with an itinerary that balances natural wonders and cultural experiences:
Light Hiking on Alpine Grassland:Led by professional guides through Nalati’s Panlong Valley, avoiding conventional routes to visit local Kazakh herders’ summer pastures and participate in traditional activities like milking mares and making cream skins.
Starry Night Camping at Sayram Lake:Special lakeside campsite accommodation equipped with professional astronomical telescopes, geological lectures by scholars, and opportunities to photograph the Milky Way arch at night.
Huocheng Lavender Workshop:Experience essential oil distillation in a vast flower field, learn to make lavender sachets, and receive a complimentary custom flower field photography service.
