Planning to visit Kashgar in the summer of 2026 to experience the magnificent scenery of the Pamir Plateau? Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake, as iconic attractions along National Highway G314, continue to attract photography enthusiasts and nature lovers with their clear waters and reflections of Muztagh Ata. Given the scattered attractions, significant altitude changes, and the need for border permits, many travelers opt for customized car rentals with a driver. This article, based on the latest market information available in late June 2026, provides a practical reference covering route details, itinerary pace, cost breakdown, and service descriptions.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake are both located along the Karakoram Highway (G314), about 260 kilometers from downtown Kashgar, with a one-way drive time of approximately 5.5 to 6 hours. The route passes through scenic spots like the Gaizi Gorge and Oytak Red Mountain. The roads have been upgraded and hardened, allowing all compliant commercial vehicles to pass normally.
Baisha Lake: The lake surface is clear, backed by rolling white sand dunes. The lake color shifts between blue and green gradients as the light changes. It features standardized viewing platforms and parking lots. According to 2026 scenic area announcements, it is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, with a ticket price of 40 RMB per person as a reference.
Karakul Lake: At an altitude of about 3,600 meters, it offers an excellent vantage point for viewing the ‘Father of Icebergs,’ Muztagh Ata. The lakeside features walking paths and simple dining service points. The area currently requires no ticket, but entering the lake area requires a shuttle bus, with a reference price of 45 RMB per person, open from 10:30 to 20:30.
Travelers to the above areas need to apply for a border management area pass in advance. Visitors can apply for free at the Kashgar Municipal Service Center or the Global Tourism Service Center with valid identification documents. The review period is typically 1–2 working days. Travel agencies can assist in explaining the process, but the pass must be obtained by the traveler personally.

Road conditions within Taxian are good, but due to the further increase in altitude (over 4,000 meters), it is recommended to arrange an appropriate acclimatization pace. The Khunjerab Pass is currently not open to ordinary tourists; it is recommended to view the relevant area from a distance within policy limits.
