The Beyik Pass, also written Payik Pass,[1] is a mountain pass in the Sarikol Range between Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province in Tajikistan and the Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang, China. Although disputed due to territorial conflicts, it is claimed to be the northernmost part of India. It is at an elevation of 15,100 feet (4,600 m). There is no road across the pass.
