📞 How to inquire about Kanas group tour costs? 3 steps to get an accurate quote
Kanas group tour costs are affected by factors such as itinerary duration, accommodation standards, transportation, and departure time, with significant price differences between routes. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency suggests tourists follow these steps to get a quote that meets their needs:
1. Clarify basic information: Inform the agency of your planned travel dates (e.g., 2026 summer/National Day), departure point (e.g., Urumqi/Beitun), number of travelers (e.g., family of 2 adults and 1 child/group of 4), and budget range (e.g., 3000-5000 RMB per person);
2. State sightseeing needs: Whether you need to include core attractions like Kanas Lake, Guanyu Terrace, Hemu Village, and Baihaba, whether you want to add surrounding attractions like Devil City and Colorful Beach, or have special requirements for accommodation (e.g., wooden cabins in the scenic area/city hotels) or meals (e.g., including specialty meals);
3. Verify cost details: Confirm whether the quote includes round-trip transportation (e.g., tourist bus/hard sleeper train), scenic area tickets, shuttle buses, accommodation, meals, tour guide service fees, whether it includes shopping stops or optional activities (e.g., boat rides, horse riding), and the cancellation/change policy.
Example: If you plan to depart from Urumqi in mid-September 2026, traveling with 4 people, with a budget of 4000 RMB per person, hoping to visit Kanas + Hemu + Colorful Beach, staying in wooden cabins in the scenic area, without optional activities, the agency will match suitable routes from their current product library and provide a specific quote and departure dates.
