We just came back from Pakistan after completing a 12 days tour to north. we visited Hunza and Skardu valley as our major destinations and booked all the best available hotels up in north. We had a wonderful experience of traveling with this company. Our guide and driver both were very professional and cooperative. Ali was our sales manager, we also had a dinner in islamabad. Pakistan is a beautiful country and not portrayed correctly by our media. If you ever get a chance to visit this country you can contact this company and ask specifically for Nadeem driver. he don’t know much english but pretty funny guy ????

My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Qing as our tour guide. We had a great experience. Qing was very knowledgeable and added funny commentary to engage my 9 year old daughter, whom is not interested in History (yet)! We learned a lot about Chinese history and culture, with the added benefit of being allowed to take ample time to take a multitude of pictures. Qing has hosted this tour for many years, so she provided us with tips to take the most flattering shots in this historical venue. I would definitely recommend Qing when taking this tour. We will remember this experience forever.

An amazing trip to Xinjiang: I’d longed to go to Xinjiang and the west of China and I wasn’t disappointed. I found the Silk Road Expeditions website and emailed them. Prompt email correspondence from Waheed who organised a guided tour just for me due to low tourist numbers. Met him at Kashgar airport and we were off: three days looking around Kashgar and a road trip along the Karakoram Highway; truly stunning scenery which for me was a highlight. Kashgar is very different to other towns in China so it was very interesting to appreciate the difference there in both culture and architecture. The animal trading market, street markets, old town, mosque, Concubine tomb, all interesting places to visit and Waheed was my driver and guide and happily explained about these places as we went along. It all went smoothly and I’d recommend contacting Waheed and talking to him about what you want to see and do. After Kashgar I flew to Urumqi and had a second guide and driver - also excellent and very knowledgeable. What he doesn’t know about the local area and history isn’t worth knowing! We spend only a little time in Urumqi itself and then went to Turpan; more stunning scenery on the drive, ancient villages, Buddhist tombs and caves, markets, grape drying houses, again, there’s a lot to see and do. The final day we added in Heavenly Lake - I feel this is a must see, if scenery and nature is your thing then it’s not to be missed. It had snowed the day before we visited and it was like a scene out of Narnia! I feel this lake would be wonderful to see in any season though. Maybe this should be in the itinerary rather than a last minute add on; I had a late flight out of Urumqi on my final day and so added this in at extra cost; we maybe should have included it from the beginning so there was no waste of time on the final day. A trip to remember, great memories and a stack of stunning photos!
