We intend to travel to Kanas Park mid October but we are not sure if winter means the park will be shut down. We intend to camp in Black Lake and do sunrise and sunset photography.

Likewise, is late October too late for autumn photography?

Thank you very much for the reply. So that means the park doesnt really "close" and we can go there anytime and no park officials will stop us. We just have to figure out the "best" time and it looks like roughly 1st or 2nd week - is it really bad during Golden Week? up to the 7th? Thank you.

Thinking of going to Kanas Lake also, I read about a new airport near

to Kanas Lake, how far is this airport from the lake ?

For independent traveller who do not speak their local language,

would there be a problem moving around ?

Hi there.

October also good time to do photography in Kana lake and Black lake (Karakul lake ).

If your time allow you i will highly recommand to do photography in middle of september or just start of october is the best time to do photograpy in Karakul lake.

Also i recommand to you come to Blac lake by Hemu villahe . Not by Kanas lake . and fishend your tour in Kanas lake . I was did this tour in 2009. in September and October there is Kazak nomad shepherts near Blackck lake .

From Hemu village to Black lake it take about 4-5 hours. and from Black lake to Kanas lake it takes about 6-7 hours .

All best

I made this tour a few years ago, as I remember. It is about 50km from airport to Jiadengyu where the shuttle buses depart for Kanas lake. There is shuttle buses waiting at the airport for both Hemu village and Kanas Lake, you don't have much difficulties even you don't speaking any Chinese. It should be ok.

agreed with the reply of china-silk-road... for best autumn photography will suggest you in between mid September to mid OCtober, as all trees reverting in to awsome yellow color.

I am from Hunza across the Khunjerab border, many foriegn tourists visiting for same purposes and do hold overland trip of Pakistan (Gilgit - Baltistan, the mountain region) and China (xinjiang provice). The tempature falls down and remains same. Also, we have similar place "Karimabad" for sunrise and sunset photography.

Wishing you happy travels!
