Stunning Snow Mountain Hiking Secret Spot

Visiting the Pamir Plateau at least once in your lifetime is a must❗️Standing at the foot of Muztagh Ata Peak, you truly understand what "life is worth living" means! This pure snow-capped mountain lake heals all your unhappiness in an instant🏔️ 【Epic Double Attraction Walking Guide】 📍Muztagh Ata Peak ▫️Address: G314 Wuhong Line, Akto County (navigation is super accurate) ▫️How to play: It’s recommended to arrive before 10 AM, when the sunlight just hits the snow-capped peak✨ Beginners can enjoy beautiful photos at the viewing platform, while those with good stamina can hike with a guide (altitude 7,509 meters, take care, friends!) ▫️Hidden photo spot: On the right side of the parking lot, there is a small dirt hill; climb up to capture the reflection of the snowy peak! 📍Karakul Lake ▫️Address: 1700 km mark on National Highway 314 (about 1 hour drive from Muztagh Peak) ▫️Ticket: 45 RMB/person ▫️Breathtaking scenery: From 4 to 6 PM, the lake water changes from blue-green to deep blue, and the combination of yaks by the lake and snow mountains looks just like the Windows desktop! The wind by the lake is very strong, remember to wear a hat. ▫️Secret route: Walk 300 meters to the right along the wooden boardwalk to find a hollow spot to avoid crowds. 💡Tested Pitfall Avoidance Tips 1️⃣ It’s best to visit both attractions in one day, Muztagh Peak → Karakul Lake is very convenient. 2️⃣ Definitely bring an oxygen bottle! Breathing is really difficult above 4000 meters. 3️⃣ Sunscreen + sunglasses + windbreaker are the three life-saving essentials. 4️⃣ Grilled lamb skewers inside Karakul Lake scenic area cost 15 RMB/skewer, good for a snack but don’t buy too many. 5️⃣ To shoot the starry sky, stay in a yurt by the lake (remember to bargain to around 200 RMB/night). 🚗 Transportation TIPS ▫️Rent a car and drive: Fly from Urumqi to Kashgar, then rent an off-road vehicle (about 500 RMB/day). ▫️Group tour: Choose the "Pamir Plateau Two-Day Tour" for a more worry-free experience. ▫️Border pass: Apply in advance in Kashgar (remember to include Akto County). A journey where your eyes are in heaven but your body is in hell, but the moment you see the golden sunlight on the mountain, you’ll be moved to tears! Pack your bags and set off, this land of gods is waiting for you❤️
