Confirm vehicle information:Before departure, request a video call with the driver to verify vehicle age, tire wear, and insurance documents, avoiding the use of old vehicles.
Beware of “operational-to-non-operational” vehicles:Prioritize new vehicles within 3 years, and strive for good vehicle condition and complete insurance.
Verify driver qualifications:Confirm the driver’s license and practice qualification certificate to avoid the risk of unlicensed driving.
Ticket reservations:During peak season, buying tickets on-site at Pamir Plateau scenic areas (White Sand Lake, Muztagh Ata) involves long queues. It is recommended to book skip-the-line access through the travel agency in advance.
