With the starry sky as the backdrop and the meadow as the seat—2026 Five-Day Light Horseback Riding Tour to Nalati in Northern Xinjiang for an In-Depth Experience
(Opening icon)✨🌿🐎
[Route Highlights:Unlock the Secret Realm of Nalati]
Summer in Northern Xinjiang is a whisper between snow-capped mountains and grasslands, a duet of streams and spruces. The newly launched “Back Mountain Light Horseback Riding Tour” in 2026 avoids the hustle and bustle of conventional tour groups and takes you deep into the “uninhabited wilderness” of Nalati Grassland—the back mountain alpine meadow. Situated at an altitude of over 2,500 meters, the average summer temperature is recommended to be around 18°C. The mountainside is adorned with wildflowers and herds of cattle and sheep, forming a flowing tapestry. In the morning, mist swirls like a picturesque scene, and in the evening, the setting sun bathes the snow-capped mountains in golden hues. The itinerary specially arranges entry into the park at 6 a.m. to enjoy the tranquil grassland at sunrise, avoiding the crowds after 9 a.m., allowing photography enthusiasts and nature lovers to immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring beauty of one of the world’s four great alpine meadows.
