The Taxkorgan He rises at Wakhjir pass in the Pamir Mountains. From there it flows initially in an easterly direction, then turns north and flows through a broad upland valley. He passes through the city Taxkorgan. Later, he turns back to the east and breaks through the eastern Pamir. Finally he meets the flowing northward Yarkant.
