Tibet's borders from east to west are: Myanmar, India, Bhutan, India, Nepal, India.

Sikkim borders Tibet but is not a sovereign state; Pakistan-controlled Kashmir borders Xinjiang, not Tibet. The Line of Control between India and Pakistan in Kashmir is bordered by the Siachen Glacier in the part close to China. The Siachen Glacier is close to the Karakoram Pass in Xinjiang.
