Pakistan ::


The oasis of Kasghar with a view of the last tops of West Himalaya is the last stop in China on the Silk Road. From here you can go to Pakistan over the Karakoram or to Kyrgyzstan over the Torugart pass.

Kashgar is mainly interesting for its sunday market. It is big, ney, it is huge. You will feel like you are back in the heyday of the Silk trade. Everywhere donkeys are sold - and taken for a test drive -, sheeps are ought and put on the back of a bicycle to take them home. Fur hats, silver daggers, ancient Korans on display in small shops. Men and women shout as they haggle over prices.

Getting something to eat is simple, there are foodstalls all over that do shish kebab.
