About Kongka La
The Kongka Pass or Kongka La (Hindi: कोंग्का दर्रा; Chinese: 空喀山口; Standard Tibetan: དགུན་ཁ་ལ) is a high mountain pass of the Chang-Chemno Range on the Line of Actual Control between India and China. China considers the Kongka Pass as its boundary with India, whereas India regards Lanak Pass further east as the boundary. The pass was the location of the Kongka Pass incident, a military skirmish between Chinese and Indian patrol officers in 1959.
