    Join us on a 10-day Urumqi Korla Kuqa Aksu Kashgar Taxkorgan Southern Xinjiang small tour to cover the best of southern Xinjiang. You will follow a local guide from Urumqi to the oasis city of Korla, where you will find the beautiful Bosten Lake. Then you will head to Kuqa, where you will visit the ancient Kuqa Palace, Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves and Tianshan Grand Canyon, and experience the cultural heritage of the ancient Silk Road. Then you will arrive in Aksu, which is famous for its rich natural landscape and agriculture. The journey continues west to Kashgar, where the ancient city of Kashgar is a must-visit and is full of Uyghur customs. The last stop is Taxkorgan, close to the Pamir Plateau, where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the Muztagh Ata Peak and the tranquil beauty of Baisha Lake and Korakul Lake. The entire trip will not only allow you to appreciate the diverse natural scenery of southern Xinjiang, but also allow you to deeply experience the unique local ethnic culture and historical relics, including the lifestyles, traditional architecture and food culture of different ethnic groups. This is an excellent opportunity not to be missed to gain a deeper understanding of the diverse culture of China's western border areas.

            Tour Tips:

            Knows before You Book:

            1. Travelers to Tibet should have a moderate physical fitness level. Patients with serious hypertension, heart disease, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, and cold should be restricted from traveling to Tibet.

            2. Book at least 20 days in advance so the tour operator may have enough time to apply for and deliver your Tibet Travel Permit. Normally, it takes around 8-9 days to process your Tibet Travel Permit from the Tibet Tourism Bureau and another 3-4 days to deliver your Permit to your address in Chinese mainland.

            3. A Tibet train/flight ticket is not included in our tour package. If you book with us, we can help you book your train/flight ticket. The train ticket to Lhasa is normally issued 15-60 days before departure. During peak seasons (from June to mid-October, during the Chinese Spring Festival and other public holidays in China), train tickets may be issued only 1-9 days before departure.

            4. Price is based on double occupancy. Solo travelers who prefer to stay in a room by themselves need to pay for the additional charge of single room supplement. Please consult our travel consultants for specific prices.

            5. Your airport/train station pick-up and drop-off in Lhasa needed to be arranged by the tour agency as foreign visitors are prohibited from independent traveling.

            6. If you plan to travel to Lhasa via Kathmandu, please do not apply for a China L Visa in advance. You need to apply for a Tibet Group Visa from the China Embassy in Kathmandu via a travel agency. If you have your China L Visa, it will automatically expire when applying for a Tibet Group Visa.

            7. Please read the Payment Methods, Terms and Conditions, and Cancellation policies before you book.

            Knows after You Book:

            1. Please provide photocopies of your passports and China L visas at least 15 days before the travel date, making sure we have enough time to apply for your Tibet Travel Permit. If you have other type of visas, please contact your travel consultant.

            2. Make sure to bring warm and comfortable clothing and walking shoes for your Tibet trip.

            3. It is recommended to bring spending cash for the whole trip. In Lhasa, you can withdraw money with a foreign bank card or change your foreign currency into Chinese Renminbi (RMB, CNY).

            4. Travel insurance is provided by The People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited (www.epicc.com.cn), which covers tourist accident risks only in China. Tourists are recommended to purchase additional insurance on their own.

            5. Altitude Sickness is a common reaction in the plateau. Common symptoms include fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, headache, etc. Normally such symptoms will disappear in 2 days. You’d better consult your doctor and bring some medicine, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and nutrient supplements.

            6. During your stay in Tibet, please obey the law and respect the local religion and customs. Do not photograph military facilities, and other politically sensitive areas; Do not accept any news media interview; Do not collect secret intelligence; Do not wave antisocial banners, yelling antisocial slogans; Do not use aerial cameras; Do not venture into areas beyond planned itineraries.

            7. Souvenirs like knives, antiques, animal skulls, etc. are not allowed to be taken out of China at customs. Please don’t buy this kind of souvenir.

            • Mr. Leah from Germany, asked on March 19th, 2025

              Border Pass

              Do I need a border pass to go to southern Xinjiang?

              Mr. Ali from Xinjiang, answered on March 19th, 2025

              Dear Miss. Leah, thank you for your question.

              It is indeed necessary to apply for a border pass when traveling to some areas in southern Xinjiang, especially when your itinerary includes areas close to the border, such as Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, the Pamir Plateau, etc. These areas are sensitive areas because of their geographical proximity to the national border, so there are special management requirements for tourists.

              Usually, you can go to the public security bureau of your registered residence or permanent residence to handle the relevant procedures before departure, or choose to handle it conveniently at the local public security bureau in Kashgar. You need to bring your ID card and travel plan information when applying. It is worth noting that not all areas in southern Xinjiang require a border pass, only specific border areas. Therefore, when you plan to travel to southern Xinjiang, I suggest you find out in advance whether your destination requires this document and leave enough time to process it to ensure a smooth journey.

              In addition, if you travel with a group, the travel agency will usually be responsible for assisting in the processing of border passes. Looking forward to your visit!
