A pass near the border crossing of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and China. It is located at an altitude of 4,706m in the Agir Mountains, where the Karakoram Mountains meet the Pamir Plateau. The pass is located on the shortest route from Tashkurgan, which flourished as an oasis trading city in the southwestern end of the present-day Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, through Hunza and Gilgit to Kashmir, and has been used as a trade route connecting Central Asia and India since ancient times. Faxian passed through here in the early 5th century, and the first Otani Expedition passed through here in 1902, traveling from Tashkurgan to Srinagar.
