Tegermansu Pass or Tigarman Su Pass (Kotal-e Tegermansu, Chinese: 托克满苏山口[1]) is a closed mountain pass on the border between Afghanistan and China in the Hindu Kush or Pamirs mountain range.[2] It is located between the on the eastern end of the Little Pamir and Chalachigu Valley in Xinjiang, China. Historically, it was one of the three routes between China and Wakhan.[3]
On Chinese side, there is a Chinese border post in the valley below.[4] There have been proposals and plans by Kashgar regional government to open this pass as a port of entry for economic purposes since the 1990s.[5][6] However, this has yet to happen.
