Subash Pass
苏巴什达坂
A mountain pass at about 4,100 metres on the G314 south of Karakul Lake, close to the western slopes of Muztagh Ata, offering the nearest view of the snow peaks from the highway.
Subash Pass lies about 30 km south of Karakul Lake and is one of the high points of the G314 Karakoram Highway across the Pamirs, at about 4,100 metres above sea level. Glaciers and snowfields on the western slope of Muztagh Ata lie almost right beside the road. The turnoff to Muztagh Ata Glacier Park is near the pass, and the surroundings are high alpine pastures and the summer grazing grounds of Kyrgyz and Tajik herders. There is no ticket. You can stop at the pass for 5–10 minutes to take photos, but the altitude is high and the wind is cold, so do not run after getting out of the car. In winter and spring, roads may ice over, so slow down.
