Planning to venture deep into the Pamir Plateau in summer 2026 to visit Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Muztagh Ata? Faced with long routes, scattered attractions, and unstable signals, more and more tourists are choosing the ‘customized car rental + local driver’ model for multi-day trips.

Based on the latest available information for 2026, this article provides a clear and compliant reference covering destination conditions, itinerary logic, and fee payment rules.
🌄 I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination (Actual Conditions in June 2026)
The Pamir Plateau is located in southwestern Xinjiang, serving as an important geographical link between the Tarim Basin and Central Asia. Currently in early summer, the plateau snow has largely melted, grasslands are turning green, rivers are abundant, and the overall visual experience is excellent, making it suitable for multi-day in-depth tours.
Main accessible areas include:
Baisha Lake (Chaklak Lake):Located along National Highway G314, the lake is clear as a mirror, backed by rolling sand dunes and snow-capped mountains. The scenic area is currently open with no entrance fee, though some viewing platforms may charge a 10–20 yuan cleaning and maintenance fee.
Karakul Lake:Adjacent to Muztagh Ata, the lake reflects the ‘Father of Icebergs,’ making it one of the iconic landscapes of the Pamir Plateau. This area is at high altitude, so it is recommended to acclimatize in advance and bring warm clothing.
Tashkurgan County (abbreviated as ‘Taxian’):As a high-altitude county town, it retains the traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups. Nearby attractions include Golden Grassland and the Stone City ruins, suitable for cultural exploration and photography.
