The Saser Muztagh is the easternmost subrange of the Karakoram Range located in the Kashmir region of India. It is encircled on the south, east and northeast by the Shyok River which bends sharply around the southeast corner of the range. It is separated from the Kailas mountains on the west by the Nubra River. The Saser La pass marks the boundary between this range and the Rimo Muztagh to the north. The Ladakh Range stands to the south of the Saser Muztagh which is across the Shyok River.
