The Kilik Pass (elevation 4,827 m or 15,837 ft; Chinese: 基里克达坂; Urdu: کلوک پاس) to the west of Mintaka Pass is a high mountain pass in the Pamir Mountains between Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan and Xinjiang in China. The two passes were, in ancient times, the two main access points into the Upper Hunza Valley (also called Gojal Valley) from the north. In addition, the two passes were also the paths used to reach Chalachigu Valley and Taghdumbash Pamir from the south.
