Explore Southern Xinjiang:Ultimate Guide to a 7-Day Customized Car Tour of Kashgar and the Pamirs in 2026✨
[Route Highlights:Traverse the Millennium Silk Road, Unlock the Secret Realm of the Plateau]
The Kashgar-Pamir Loop is the “soul route” of Southern Xinjiang, connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, wetlands, ancient cities, and border scenery. Starting from Kashgar’s Old Town, follow the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (National Route 314) towards the Pamir Plateau, stopping at the “blue-and-white fairy tale” of Baisha Lake, the “Father of Glaciers” at Muztagh Ata, and the “life’s winding road” of Panlong Ancient Road, ultimately reaching Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County (Tashkurgan) to experience the eagle flute culture of various ethnic groups. This route suits photography enthusiasts, nature explorers, and cultural experience seekers, with July-August being the prime travel season when grasslands turn green, wildflowers bloom, the Dukang Highway and Desert Highway are fully accessible, and long daylight hours facilitate stunning light and shadow photography.
