2. 4.5 Khunjerab Pass (45 reviews)
   - 16000 ft - Highest Border of World
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   I have been to this Place (Pakistan Side) for 6 times starting from August 2014. It is always scenic and breathing problems at 16000 ft always happen especially when you are not acclamatized to it from Sost. You need to walk for 10 minutes from Parking to get closer to the Border Monument. Weather is chilly there even in summer. The Snow Capped peak always give you breathtaking views and neighbouring visitors a cherish and treat to be with them. Security personnel are cooperative in nature provided you are following security protocols. See more..

   It is an unbelievable site. Situated on an Hill over looking on the entire valley. It was so smart that the ancient rulers understood the importance of the location. The maintenance of the place is at a high level and the surrounding is kept very well See more..
   
4. 3.5 Tashkurgan Fort (28 reviews)
   - If you are looking for Silk road historyhere it is
   Historic Sites
   
   
   The main reason for our visit to Tashkurgan was "Stone Fort" which is reputed to be around 2000 years old. Its location affords it a significant level f control over the surrounding area with high mountains surrounding on a couple of sides and a flat semi fertile plain on the other. The views are spectacular ans one could well imagine the King who reigned here having tight control of the silk road caravans. The Fort is easy to locate and whilst there is not much more than the outer walls there has been some esthetic management of the renovations. They could really do with some level of museum or area showing the strategic nature of the site. See more..

   Beaches
   
   
   It's gorgeous, too bad we couldn't go to the actual geographical border but seeing the china customs checkpoint was good enough. At almost 5000m, you will get breathless, fuguritvely and literally! See more..

   - Great food, lovely village
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   This is a great place to stop for lunch on the way to/from Tashkurgan to Kashgar. Traditional Uighur and Tajik fare like rice pilaf with carrot and pumpkin and lamb, kebabs, breads and loads of fruit. Try the local tea which is made from black te, goji berry, saffron and cardamom. Lovely! See more..
   
7. 3.0 Taheman Hot Spring (1 review)
   - 67度
   Thursday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Hot Springs & Geysers
   タシュクルガンからカシュガルに向かう途中にあります。三方を山に囲まれ草原が広がる自然たっぷりのきれいなところで、水温67度（もちろん加水）。古びた建物なので、事前にしっかりチェックしておかないと通り過ぎてしまうと思います。 See more..
   
8. 2.0 Princess Castle (1 review)
   - 車窓から
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Castles
   パキスタン国境からタシュクルガンに移動する途中、車窓から見えます。ここは外国人立入禁止地域で、100kmずっと鉄条網が3重にはられていて、兵士や警官が5kmごとに立ってます。写真を取るにも長時間停車したり下車して取ることはできません。 See more..
