1. Number of travelers and group composition
Clarify the number of people traveling (e.g., 4 or 6) and whether there are elderly, children, or special needs (such as altitude sickness adaptability), so the travel agency can recommend suitable vehicle types (e.g., 5-seat SUV, 7-seat business van).
2. Planned days and key attractions
Attractions on the Pamir Plateau are scattered, so it is recommended to arrange at least 5-7 days. Highlight the attractions you want to visit (such as Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, Panlong Ancient Road, Tashkurgan County, etc.) to help the travel agency optimize the route.

Xinjiang is vast, so you need to confirm whether you depart from Kashgar city (the choice of most travelers) or need a transfer to another city. The meeting point is usually a hotel in downtown Kashgar or the airport, subject to the travel agency’s arrangement.
4. Budget range and vehicle standards
Custom car rental costs are greatly affected by vehicle type, days, and season. Stating your budget in advance (e.g., 800-1200 yuan/day per vehicle) can help the travel agency match economy or comfort vehicles.
5. Special needs and taboos
If you have dietary restrictions (e.g., halal meals), photography equipment transport needs, or requirements for high-altitude driving experience, inform the agency in advance to avoid inconvenience during the trip.
