Rezang La, also called Rechin La (Chinese: 熱欽山口; pinyin: Rè qīn shānkǒu), is a mountain pass on the Line of Actual Control between Indian-administered Ladakh and the Chinese-administered Spanggur Lake basin that is also claimed by India. The pass is located on the eastern watershed ridge of the Chushul Valley that China claims as its boundary. It is at the head of the Rezang Lungpa valley, which houses a stream draining into the Spanggur Lake. About 3 km southeast of Rechin La (33°24′52″N 78°52′29″E / 33.4144°N 78.8748°E / 33.4144; 78.8748 (Rèzàng Shānkǒu)) is a pass leading to another valley that is also called "Rezang Lungpa". China recognizes this pass as Rezang La (Chinese: 热藏山口; pinyin: Rèzàng Shānkǒu). About 3 km northwest of Rechin La (33°26′38″N 78°49′48″E / 33.4440°N 78.8300°E / 33.4440; 78.8300 (Rezang La (1962))) is another pass that was the site of a major battle of the 1962 Sino-Indian War. A company of India's 13 Kumaon battalion fought to the last man in an effort to block the Chinese PLA troops from crossing the ridge into the Chushul Valley. During the 2020–2021 China–India skirmishes, these passes were again the site of a major face-off between the two nations' armies. From Wikipedia
