## About Khunjerab Pass Border Port

The scenery here may not be as spectacular as you imagine, but as the final stop on the Pamir Plateau journey, nearly every traveller comes here to pose for a photo by the border marker.

## Tips from the guidebook

- 1. Opening hours: Because of weather conditions, the pass is open seasonally, generally from May to October. Visitors must apply in advance to the Kashgar Public Security Bureau for a border travel permit, or they will not be allowed in.
- 2. Time limit: You may stay at the border marker for no more than 30 minutes, and your border pass will be checked. Take a bus from Kashgar to Tashkurgan county, then charter a car to the pass.
