VI. Frequently Asked Questions
(I) Why choose a formal travel agency instead of an individual driver?
According to 2026 Xinjiang tourism market supervision data, customizing vehicle use through a formal travel agency can avoid “low-price traps.” A tourist once customized vehicle use through an informal channel and was forced by the driver to visit a jade store for 2 hours. After complaining, it was difficult to defend their rights due to the lack of a contractual basis. All vehicles of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency are equipped with GPS positioning and dashcams, making the itinerary traceable and effectively protecting tourists’ rights.
(II) How to cope with weather changes in southern Xinjiang?
The average daily temperature in Kashgar in July is 25-35℃, but due to the high altitude of the Pamir Plateau, the nighttime temperature in Taxkorgan may drop below 10℃. It is recommended to bring equipment such as windbreakers, sunscreen, and sunglasses. In case of extreme weather such as heavy rain or mudslides, the driver will change the itinerary or choose an alternative route according to notifications from traffic control authorities.
(III) Guide to Permit Application
Chinese citizens can apply for a permit for free at the Kashgar International Self-Drive Travel and RV Camp with valid identification, specifying the destination as “Taxkorgan County.” Foreign tourists need to apply to the public security authorities in advance through a travel agency, with a processing time of about 3 working days.
