Hindutash, also known as Hindu-tagh Pass, is a historical mountain pass in the western Xinjiang, China.
The pass cuts through the Kunlun Mountains connecting the now-deserted town of Kangxiwar in the Karakash River valley to the town of Pusha in the Yurungkash River valley (36.3833°N 79°E; formerly Bushia).
It also connects to the road to the city of Hotan (formerly Khotan or Ilchi; see maps on right).

China National Highway 580 is under construction connecting Kangxiwar directly with Hotan.
It will tunnel under Hindutash, connect with the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway G219 to the south after numerous hairpin turns.
It is scheduled to be completed in 2022.

"Hindu-tagh" means "Indian Mountain," and "Hindu-tash," "Indian stone" in the Uyghur dialect of Xinjiang.
