Snow peaks and alpine lakes. Silk Road bazaars and desert dunes. One sixth of China, and almost none of the crowds. Private vehicles, licensed drivers, English-speaking local teams — and an itinerary built around you, not a bus schedule.
Every itinerary below is a starting point, not a package. Tell us what to add, cut or slow down — we rebuild it around your dates. All tours are private: only your group, only your vehicle.
9 Days / 8 Nights
The classic north: glacier-fed Heavenly Lake, the emerald water of Kanas, the wooden Tuva village of Hemu, then south to the blue of Sayram Lake and the green Ili valley.
7 Days / 6 Nights
Silk Road
The living old city of Kashgar, the Pamir gateway at Tashkurgan, Sunday livestock bazaars, and the caravans' southern road along the edge of the Taklamakan.
8 Days / 7 Nights
China's most spectacular mountain road, driven end to end — 561 km of glacier passes, high grassland and red canyons, with four 3,000 m-plus cols on the way.
6 Days / 5 Nights
Up onto the Pamir plateau: white-sand lakes, the 7,546 m Muztagh Ata above Karakul, Tajik villages, and the climb to the Khunjerab Pass at the Pakistan border.
5 Days / 4 Nights
Drive the desert highway straight across the "Sea of Death" — 522 km of dunes, oasis towns, a desert night camp under the Milky Way, and riverside poplar forests.
5 Days / 4 Nights
Sayram Lake at dawn, the lavender fields of Huocheng, then the "grassland in the air" at Nalati — horses, yurts, and a night with a Kazakh herding family.
Prices are indicative, based on four travellers sharing one vehicle in shoulder season, and cover your vehicle, licensed driver, fuel, tolls and driver's costs. Tickets, hotels and meals are quoted separately to match your own standard. Every trip is priced as a fixed quote before you pay anything.
Already know where you want to go? Skip the tour and just take a vehicle with a licensed driver. You set the route each morning; your driver knows the roads, the permits and the best place to stop for lunch.
The region's altitude, sun and day–night temperature swing make its fruit and nuts unusually sweet. We source these from producers we buy from ourselves — the same suppliers we use for our own families.
Ruoqiang grey jujube — thin skin, small stone, dense flesh. Sun-dried, never smoked or dyed. The classic Xinjiang gift.
Left on the branch to dry in the desert heat rather than picked early — soft, dark amber, and intensely sweet with no added sugar.
Aksu paper-shell walnuts you can crack in one hand, plus thin-shelled badam from Kashgar. Sold as a mixed gift box.
We are based in Xinjiang. The vehicles, the drivers and the people answering your emails are all here — which is why we can do things a reseller cannot.
Tourism business licence and road transport licence, held by us. Every vehicle on your trip is commercially licensed, insured and inspected.
We take no commission from shops, so we have no reason to steer you into one. If you want to buy something, we tell you where locals buy it.
Your group only. No strangers added, no fixed departure dates, no waiting for a bus to fill. Leave at 6 a.m. for the light, or at 11 a.m. — your call.
Emails, quotes and on-trip support in English. Drivers with working English on request, or a dedicated English-speaking guide.
Some border counties require a permit for foreign passport holders. We check your route against current rules and arrange the paperwork in advance.
You get a written, itemised quote before you commit. No hidden extras on the road, no pressure to upgrade, no tipping requirements.
Two minutes on our enquiry form: dates, group size, what you want to see. No account, no deposit.
Within 12 hours (Beijing time) we send a day-by-day draft itinerary and a fixed, itemised price.
We adjust until it's right, then sign the official tourism contract and take a deposit. Permits are filed.
Your driver meets you at the airport. From then on, everything on the ground is ours to handle.
Send us your dates and a rough idea. Within 12 hours you will have a draft itinerary and a fixed price in English — free, and with no obligation to book.
