Tagarma Wetland
塔合曼湿地
A highland wetland meadow at the southern foot of Muztagh Ata, where spring water forms winding channels, with snowy peaks, pastures, and Tajik villages in one frame.
Tagarma Wetland lies in Tagarma Township, about 30 km north of the county seat, at an elevation of about 3,000 meters. It is a broad, low-lying valley in the Pamirs, where meltwater from snowy peaks including Muztagh Ata wells up from underground and forms large marshes and river channels. A viewing platform along the G314 is a good place to photograph the wetland reflecting the snowy peaks, along with grazing cattle and sheep and Tajik stone houses. The township also has the Tagarma Hot Spring for bathing. Viewing the wetland is free. When walking down into the meadow, please use the boardwalk and avoid disturbing herders' livestock. It is right on the way when entering Tashkurgan County from the Kashgar direction.
