Southern Xinjiang is the Silk Road end of China, and Kashgar is the oldest living city on it. Two thousand years of adobe houses with tens of thousands of Uyghur residents still in them, the Id Kah Mosque from 1442, the Afaq Khoja tomb, and the ancient city opening ceremony every morning.
From there the tour climbs onto the Pamir Plateau: White Sand Lake at 3,300 metres, Karakul Lake at 3,660 under Muztagh Ata, the Panlong Ancient Road coiling over the Kunlun ridges, the Bandir blue lake, the Stone City at Tashkurgan, and the Muji cold volcano field with its sixty cones. Then down to Yarkand for the Amannisa Khan mausoleum and a Twelve Muqam performance.
Three departures in March 2027, timed for the apricot blossom in the Tashkurgan valley, where a hundred thousand wild apricot trees flower along the canyon. From ₱136,435 per person, which is USD 2,099.
No shopping stops anywhere in the eight days. Seven breakfasts, six lunches and six dinners included.

The rate above covers what is listed under Price Includes. These are the costs that land on top of it. We would rather you saw the real number now than found it later.

Most of Days 2 to 5 sits above 3,000 metres. Karakul Lake is 3,660 and Muji Volcano is 3,800. Altitude sickness is a genuine risk at those heights, especially as you go up fast from Kashgar on Day 2. If you have heart trouble, lung trouble, uncontrolled blood pressure or are pregnant, talk to your doctor before booking. Everyone should drink more water than feels necessary and take the first two days gently.
The apricot blossom. Day 3 is a full day at Kukesiruk in the Tashkurgan valley, where more than a hundred thousand wild apricot trees flower along the canyon in late March. Outside that window it is a different and much plainer valley.
A separate permit required to enter the Muji area, which sits right on China’s western border. It is arranged for you on Day 5 and there is nothing for you to do but hand over your passport when asked. Your name has to match your passport exactly on the booking, so check it when you book.
No. JSC sells it as a non shopping package with 5 star hotels and a group visa. There are no compulsory stores anywhere in the eight days.
Yes, and we handle it. You travel on a China group visa, which costs USD 40 per person, about ₱2,600, collected with your tour fee. It is a group document, so you enter and leave China together with the group.
Seven hotel breakfasts, six lunches and six dinners. You pay only for your first day, when you land close to midnight anyway.
A child from 2 to 6 years old without their own bed is USD 100 less than the adult, about ₱6,500 off. From 6 years old local rules require their own bed and they pay the adult rate. The altitude makes this a hard trip for small children, so think about it carefully.
A deposit of USD 500 per person, about ₱32,500, within three days of confirming. It is non refundable and it cannot be transferred to another departure. The rest is due one month before you travel.
