Explore the twin wonders of the Pamir Plateau:One-day in-depth tour of Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake departing from Kashgar
🌄 [Route Highlights:A Visual Feast of Twin Lakes on the Plateau]
Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake are the ‘Twin Pearls’ of the Pamir Plateau. Located just 30 kilometers apart at the foot of Muztagh Ata, they offer strikingly different landscapes:
Baisha Lake: The lake’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the continuous Baisha Mountains. The mountains and lake present a blue-green gradient under the sunlight, earning it the title ‘Gem of the Plateau.’ The scenic area features standardized viewing platforms, parking lots, and rest areas. In 2026, it will be open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, with an admission fee of approximately 40 RMB per person (subject to on-site notice).
Karakul Lake:At an altitude of 3,600 meters, it offers the best vantage point to admire Muztagh Ata, the ‘Father of Ice Mountains.’ A scenic walking path runs along the lakeshore, allowing visitors to experience the dynamic beauty of glacial meltwater flowing into the lake. In 2026, admission to the scenic area will be free, but a shuttle bus (approximately 45 RMB per person) is required to enter the core zone. Operating hours are from 10:30 to 20:30.
