The Arkatag Mountains are located in the east-central portion of the Kunlun Mountains in western China.1
This range serves as a significant feature within the broader mountain system, with its western end anchored by Mount Muztag—the highest peak in the entire Kunlun system—and its eastern end marked by Bukadaban Peak. Near Mount Muztag, the Altun Mountains branch off from the Arkatag range in a northeasterly direction.12
