Notes: Pangong Tso, meaning "extensive concavity lake" in Ladakhi and Tibetan, is a deep, landlocked lake over 14,000 ft high in the Ladakh Himalayas, located 54 km southeast of Leh and 6 km wide at its broadest point. The northern bank features barren mountains known as Chang Chenmo, with India claiming the Line of Actual Control (LAC) at Finger 8 but controlling up to Finger 4, while China asserts the LAC at Finger 2. The Chushul sub-sector, south of Pangong Tso, includes significant heights and passes, with Chushul Valley hosting a crucial airstrip and serving as one of five Border Personnel Meeting points between India and China. Merak, a village on the southern banks of Pangong Tso, is opposite Finger 3 on the northern bank.
