Important Notes
1. This trip starts in Kashgar and ends in Keriya (Yutian County). It is very convenient to arrive in Kashgar through all major cities in China with good direct or connection flights. It is also accessible by land passes, such as Torugart, Erkeshtam, Khunjerab , Khorgos pass via Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Kazakhstan. We would like to offer our additional service at reasonable cost per request.
2. Driving on hostile desert 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.
