Testimonials
I highly recommend Waheed from Silk road Expeditions for trek to K2
If you go on this trek, you won’t regret it. The Karakoram mountains are some of the most impressive on earth. We actually did make an epic trekking expedition with Waheed to K2 from China side. I would like to make this review to showcase his ability and great effort in the mountaineering field in this part of China. The whole trip was an epic expedition due to the length and variety, the remote location, the historic cities of the Silk Road that you pass through along the way (Kashgar, Yarkand), the amazing, spectacular scenery, and the novelty of a camel-supported trek.everything went very smooth I highly recommend Waheed of Silkroad expeditions

Muztagh Ata climbing Experience
I had the most pleasant experience in China thanks to Waheed from Silk Road Expeditions. My situation was complicated, traveling through Central Asia by bicycle while also skiing 7000m peaks. My objective in China was Mustagh Ata, which Waheed specializes. He knew all Mountaineering in China and was very professional and friendly. He took care of me and made sure I was safe, even though what I am doing is clearly not safe! Thank you for one of most positive travel experiences of my life. I hope more Americans will venture towards this region and book with Waheed to Muztagh Ata and K2 which he specializes

Excelent Xinjiang Tour
Very delightful trip with Waheed to north and southern xinjiang follwing the ancient silk road. Great time in Kanas ,Urumqi ,Yili Valley ,Narat in the north and Kashgar Old City, ID Kah Mosque,,Fragrant Concubine Tomb. And local Bazaars. Karakoram Highway on the way to tashkorgan in the south , Karakoram highway not to be missed! Waheed took a lot of effort to take us for great yummy local cuisine and upgraded us from 4 star to 5 star hotel. Waheed is very passionate and knowledgable on Xinjiang. Good hospitality ! Enjoyed our trip!。

Amazing Xinjiang Travel Experience
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!
