Exploring the Pamirs:2026 Kashgar to Taxkorgan One-Day Custom Vehicle Deep Guide✨
(Opening icon:🚗)
【Route Highlights:Traversing the Millennium Silk Road, Encountering the Highland Secret Realm】
The Pamir Plateau, known as the ‘Roof of the Highlands,’ combines snow-capped mountains, lakes, glaciers, and wetlands. Recent 2026 data shows that the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway (National Highway G314) from Kashgar to Taxkorgan is now fully paved with asphalt, but the section from Baisha Lake to Muztagh Ata Viewpoint retains its original landscape, making it a paradise for photographers. Along the way, you can visit three core attractions:
1️⃣ Baisha Lake:The lake changes between blue and green hues with the light. The north shore is free to visit, while the south shore has a viewing platform (admission fee: 40 yuan)
2️⃣ Karakul Lake:The ‘Black Lake’ at an altitude of 3,600 meters reflects Muztagh Ata (admission fee: 50 yuan)
3️⃣ Panlong Ancient Road:64 hairpin bends form the viral road sign: ‘Today, I’ve traveled all the winding roads; from now on, life will be smooth sailing.’
(Key Reminder:Starting in 2026, all tourists must obtain a permit in advance, which can be processed free of charge at the Kashgar Government Service Center. Select ‘Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County’ as the permitted area.)
