Crowds are common at scenic spots like Sayram Lake and Nalati; consider off-peak travel (e.g., tour Nalati in the morning and Sayram Lake in the afternoon).
The Duku Highway is recommended from June-September annually; exact opening time subject to traffic department announcements. Traffic control may require switching to National Highway 218.
