advice on travle traffic from Kashgar to Sost |
|
|
I am planning to travel from Kashgar to Sost and onwards to Gilgit in July. Found plenty of information on transport from Pakistan to China but little or nothing going the other way.
Can anyone please offer advice? philip |

International bus sets off from Kashgar every afternoon and it takes 5 to 6 hours to Tashgurgan.
The permit is needed but you can also ask the local travel agency for help at a cost of RMB40 to 50.
The bus will stop at Tashgurgan for one night(you got to pay for yoursefl). You will arrive the customs pass at 10:30 the next morning. The bus cannot go on unless all the passengers have passed. You will arrive Sost in 4.5 to 6 hours.

Thank you for your very helpful reply.
I shall be staying overnight at Tashkurgan at the end of my tour with Travel China. My next question is, will I be able to join the bus there instead of at Kashgar?? Also, Travel China are advising against onward travel to Pakistan. Do you know of any border problems which may affect the journey?
With many thanks for your prompt reply |
