Important Notes
1.This trip starts in Kashgar and ends in Kashgar. It is very convenient to arrive in Kashgar by direct or indirect flight through any major cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xian, Urumchi. It is also accessible by land passes, such as Torugart or Erkeshtam pass via Kyrgyzstan and Khunjerab pass via Pakistan. We would like to offer our additional service at reasonable cost per request.
2.Climbing expedition still presents an enormous challenge despite modern equipment and tactics. We strongly recommend taking out a travel insurance (including trip cancellation, interruption, Search &Rescue, medical treatment and more) from reliable insurance company.
3.Due to the demands of travelling at high altitudes, this trek requires a good level of fitness and stamina to cope with several long days. You will be trekking on hilly terrain, generally on well-defined paths, walking anywhere between 4–7 hours. Altitude may exceed 4950 meter.
4.A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. Please contact us for further information.
5.In case of weather conditions leading to cancellations or delays in flights, this trip will operate on an alternate itinerary.
