Fascinated by the beauty of the «Father of the Ice Mountains», Sven Hedin tried to summit Muztagh Ata already in 1894, but he did not succeed. The uniqueness of this area lies in its desert-like foreland of the mountain giants and the different peoples who live here. On the journey-in, we visit Kashgar, located on the old Silk Route at the west end of the Taklamakan Desert, which is ideal to start our trip.
