🌄 Route or Destination Details

This 17-day full South and North Xinjiang Duku version itinerary covers Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, Tianshan Tianchi, and other most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang.
The itinerary balances the historical depth of South Xinjiang with the ecological grandeur of North Xinjiang: experience oasis civilization in Turpan, gaze at Muztagh Ata Peak from the Pamir Plateau, traverse four seasons on the Duku Highway, explore the secrets by Kanas Lake, and watch morning mist and cooking smoke in Hemu Village… The entire journey uses a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model—immerse yourself in scenic spots during the day, and rest comfortably in your cabin at night, eliminating the hassle of intercity transfers and repeated check-ins and check-outs.
