Depsang Plains

Depsang Plains (Jammu and Kashmir)
Depsang Plains (India)

The Depsang Plains are located at the Line of Actual Control that separates the Indian- and Chinese-controlled regions.[1][2] The Chinese Army occupied most of the plains in 1962.[2] India controls the western portion of the plains, whereas the eastern portion is part of the Aksai Chin region, which is controlled by China and claimed by India.[3] In April 2013, the Chinese PLA troops set up a temporary camp in the Depsang Bulge, but later withdrew as a result of a diplomatic agreement with India.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
