Drivers must have more than 5 years of local driving experience and hold legal operating qualifications. All vehicles are equipped with seat insurance, commercial insurance, and emergency supplies (such as oxygen tanks and first aid kits).

Choosing a reliable small group and slowing down for 6 days to walk into the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, feeling the cool breeze blowing off the lake, might be what travel is truly meant to be.
