The Kuksay Tagh (or short: Kuksay ; also Muztagh Ata II ) is a 7184 m high glaciated mountain in the eastern Pamir Mountains in Xinjiang ( PR China ).
The Kuksay Tagh is located in the county Akto in Kyrgyz Autonomous County Kizilsu . The 7184 m high Kuksay Tagh rises 2.17 km north-northeast of the 7509 m high Muztagata . Due to a notch height of only 309 m, the Kuksay Tagh is not considered a separate mountain. The Kuksay Glacier flows on its eastern flank . The westward flowing Kmatolya glacier separates the Kuksay Tagh from the Muztagata.
