2026 Pamir Autumn Route A | 7-Day 6-Night Private Tour from Kashgar, Pamir Plateau Snowy Wonderland

Arrive in Kashgar from your home city. Enjoy 24-hour free airport pickup and check into a selected hotel. Free time to stroll the Kashgar Old Town night market and taste local delicacies like grilled pigeon, jar meat, and yogurt zongzi.

Drive along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway onto the Pamir Plateau. Visit White Sand Lake, 'half sand sea, half blue,' and Karakul Lake, 'one lake mirroring three peaks.' Enjoy hand-brewed coffee and desserts at the Muztagh Ata camp. Arrive in Tashkurgan in the evening.

Explore the Wakhan Corridor and gaze at the vast end of the Silk Road. Head to Khunjerab Pass to feel the border grandeur (viewed from afar if closed). Then conquer the 600 S-curves of Panlong Ancient Road and overlook sapphire-blue Bandier Lake.

Say goodbye to the Pamir Plateau and visit a fall-only golden populus forest where golden trees meet snowy peaks. Return to Kashgar in the afternoon and enjoy free time.

Head to Dawakun Desert for a desert safari and camel riding, feeling the vastness of the sand sea. Return to Kashgar to visit the Afak Khoja Mausoleum and admire the garden architecture while hearing the legend of the Fragrant Concubine.

Watch the Kashgar Old Town opening ceremony in the morning, then wander the century-old town: a Uyghur family visit, a century-old teahouse, and artisan bazaars, with a professional photographer for the light photo shoot. In the evening, enjoy an optional ethnic song-and-dance dinner.

After breakfast, enjoy free time and transfer to the airport according to your flight. It is recommended to book an afternoon flight to allow time to shop for souvenirs at the Kashgar Grand Bazaar. End of the 7-day Pamir autumn journey.
