Xinjiang is China’s wild west, filled with diversity and culture that has more in common with central Asian countries than China. With majestic feats such as the local markets of Kashgar, the exquisite Karakul Lake, and the treacherous Taklamakan desert, the program will start off with a village homestay under the stars. They will then journey to the Kyrgyz subash and have a nomadic style dinner with the local families. Then, students will proceed on an 8-hour trek to Qaltumak, meeting hayed shepherds and staying in stone-built houses. Students will then trek to Idare, a village comprised of 25-30 Kyrgyz stone houses. Lastly, students will travel 3700m to Karakul Lake. Designed to work alongside with the Duke of Edinburgh International Award, this program itinerary will not disappoint. Students will walk away with a lifetime of memories and a new perspective of China’s west.
