On Chinese side, there is a Chinese border post in the valley below.[4] There have been proposals and plans by Kashgar regional government to open this pass as a port of entry for economic purposes since the 1990s.[5][6] However, this has yet to happen.

Tegerman Su is the name of the river valley on the Afghan side, easternmost part of Afghanistan.[7] During the late 2000s, due to lawlessness, the Kirghiz in Afghanistan reported robbery and theft in Little Pamir by bandits from Tajikistan.[7]
