From Kashgar to Sust in Pakistan
There are long-distance coaches that run from Kashgar to Sust in Pakistan. Sust is a border town between China and Pakistan. The coach ride takes about 15 hours: 9 hours for the first day, and another 6 hours for the next day. For the evening of the first day, the coach will stop over in Taxian (Ta County) where passengers need to find accommodation by themselves. Passengers can buy tickets and board the coach at International Bus Station located next to Toman River Hotel.
Note that the road condition is not very good, and in case there is not sufficient number of passengers (the minimum is said to be ten or so), the coach may be cancelled and passengers need to wait 1-5 days till there are sufficient numbers. Besides, roads are blocked by snow during winter.
