The Mustagh Pass or Muztagh Pass (Chinese: (东)木斯塔山口) is a mountain pass across the Baltoro Muztagh subrange within the Karakoram, which includes K2, the world's second highest mountain. The crest of the Baltoro Muztagh marks the present border between Pakistani and Chinese territory. Sarpo Laggo Pass is a 6,013-meter (19,728 ft)-high mountain pass at 35°49′24″N76°09′45″E / 35.8234°N 76.16249°E / 35.8234; 76.16249 near Mustagh Pass.
According to Francis Younghusband, there are actually two passes, the eastern or 'Old' Mustagh Pass (alt. about 5,422 m.) and the so-called 'New' Mustagh Pass, about 16 km (9.9 mi) to the west (altitude variously given as 5,700 and 5,800 m.) The pass is on the watershed between the rivers which flow towards the Tarim Basin and those flowing to the Indian Ocean.[1]
