Chushul is a village in the Leh district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is located in the Leh tehsil, in the area known as "Chushul Valley".
According to the 2011 census of India, Chushul has 148 households. The effective literacy rate (i.e. the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) is 61.47%.
Chushul has an Advanced Landing Ground airstrip that was used in the Sino-Indian War.
It is close to Rezang La and Panggong Lake at a height of 4360 metres.
The Chushul village was the block headquarters of Chanthhang block of Ladakh district prior to the 1962 war with china.
Chushul is one of the four officially agreed BPM (Border Personnel Meeting) point between Indian Army and People's Liberation Army of China for regular consultations and interactions between the two armies, which helps in defusing face-offs. The four BPM are: Chushul in Ladakh, Nathu La in Sikkim, Bum La Pass in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh and Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand close to Qiang.
The Sino-Indian War (Hindi: भारत-चीन युद्ध Bhārat-Chīn Yuddh), also known as the Sino-Indian Border Conflict (simplified Chinese: 中印边境战争; traditional Chinese: 中印邊境戰爭; pinyin: Zhōng-Yìn Biānjìng Zhànzhēng), was a war between China and India that occurred in 1962. A disputed Himalayan border was the main pretext for war, but other issues played a role. There had been a series of violent border incidents after the 1959 Tibetan uprising, when India had granted asylum to the Dalai Lama. India initiated a Forward Policy in which it placed outposts along the border, including several north of the McMahon Line, the eastern portion of a Line of Actual Control proclaimed by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1959.
Unable to reach political accommodation on disputed territory along the 3,225-kilometre-long Himalayan border, the Chinese launched simultaneous offensives in Ladakh and across the McMahon Line on 20 October 1962. Chinese troops advanced over Indian forces in both theatres, capturing Rezang la in Chushul in the western theatre, as well as Tawang in the eastern theatre. The war ended when the Chinese declared a ceasefire on 20 November 1962, and simultaneously announced its withdrawal from the disputed area.
Chinese can refer to:
Chinese people are the various individuals or groups of people associated with China (or Greater China), either by reason of ancestry or heredity, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, place of residence, or other affiliations.
A number of ethnic groups within the region of China, as well as people elsewhere with ancestry in the region, may be referred to as Chinese people.
Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China, are often referred to as "Chinese" or "ethnic Chinese" in English. Han Chinese also form a majority or large minority in other countries, and may comprise as much as 19% of the global human population.
Other ethnic groups in China include the Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, and Uyghurs, among many others. The People's Republic of China (PRC) officially recognizes 56 distinct ethnic groups, some of whom live in special administrative regions of the country. Taiwan officially recognizes 14 tribes of Taiwanese aborigines, who together with unrecognized tribes comprise about 2% of the country's population. The list of ethnic groups in China includes the major ethnic groups of China (PRC) and Taiwan.
Rezang La is a pass on the south-eastern approach to Chushul Valley in Ladakh, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. It is 3,000 yards long and 2,000 yards wide, with an average height of 16,000 feet.
Rezang La was the site of the last stand of the 13 Kumaon, an all-Yadav company, during the Sino-Indian War in 1962. The company led by Major Shaitan Singh, who won a posthumous Param Vir Chakra for his actions. From the Indian point of view, Rezang La had the drawback that an intervening feature blocked artillery operation, so that the Indian infantry had to do without artillery cover.
In this action on 18 November 1962, 114 Indian soldiers out of a total of 124 were killed. A memorial in Rewari, where most of the Ahir soldiers came from, states that 1700 Chinese soldiers were killed in the battle. A memorial was constructed near Dharuhera Chowk in Rewari city by Rezangla Shaurya Samiti. Every year, memorial functions are held by the Samiti in collaboration with district administration and the Kumaon Regiment, and family members of those who died at Rezangla also take part.
The route Merak to Chushul, with no roads, and the road has to be tracked by the Tyre marks on army convoys.. And the closest to the Chinese border, with a 15000ft above sea level is Pangong Tso a high altitude lake. N sorry for d shaky video, as it was mounted in the handle bar and recorded.
Get Set for an adventure of a lifetime as you drive your way through the mesmerizing landscape of North India from Delhi to the heart of the mighty Himalayas at a height of more than 18000 feet! The journey weaves it way through a diverse terrain of chaotic villages, picturesque countryside and extraordinary roads too treacherous heights where the adrenalin rush is high but oxygen levels low. The journey tests your abilities and fitness but rewards you with unimagined sights that only a few have seen and experienced. This video is a part of my All India Ride in which I covered 25000 km 29 states of India, Bhutan and Myanmar.This route is very less travelled by travellers and tourists.The beauty of this route is the famous Pangong lake which you can see along the kaccha road most of the ti...
20th June 2016: Paying tributes to brave Indian soldiers who laid down their lives while facing Chinese army during 1962 war.

A contested boundary and a diffident border policy is proving to be a major problem for nomads living along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh. For villagers in Dungti, Phobrang, Chushul and Chumur along the Line of Actual Control, it is a double whammy. Watch more videos: http://www.ndtv.com/video?yt
MAJOR SHAITAN SINGH: A STORY OF UNMATCHED BRAVERY Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC (1 December 1924 - 18 November 1962) was an Indian Army officer, who was awarded Param Vir Chakra, the highest wartime gallantry medal, posthumously, for his leadership and courage during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. In the 1962 Sino-Indian War, The 'Ahir' Company of the 13th Kumaon battalion, led by Shaitan Singh, held this crucial position at Rezang La, a pass on the south-eastern approach to Chushul Valley in Ladakh, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, at a height of 5,000 metres (16,404 feet). The company area was defended by three platoon positions and the surrounding terrain isolated it from the rest of the battalion. The expected Chinese attack on Rezang La came on November 18 in the morning. It was th...

Summary: 14 days, 4 bikes, 5 guys and ~3000 kms Route: Delhi-Manali-Leh-Khardungla-Pangong-Chushul-Nyoma-Hanle-Tsomoriri-Pang-Sarchu-Jispa-Manali-Delhi I have not named it as a Leh Trip as the real part of the trip started after Leh which was a complete unknown territory with no roads, India on one side and china on the other. The only thing to guide us was electric lines and some tyre marks. We drove through river beds, across rivers and sand which tested us physically, mentally and tested our team spirit. Please be aware, that if you want to cover this route you'll need inner line permits from D.C Office, Leh. If you're a foreign national you probably are not permitted sadly. This route was being open for public visits not too long ago as far as we know. Get in touch with us if you ...

Presenting you the balanced budget for Leh Ladakh trip. As on 20th may I will be leaving for Leh on SCOOTY so publishing my second last video on Leh Ladakh. On 13th may I will be leaving for Tapovan/Gangotri trekking so I will have no time to publish any videos. But definitely, whenever I will be back from leh I will bring back many ultimate videos of leh on daily basis. If u are going Solo the cost will be around 20-25k , if in group then depends upon the number of person in group so most probably 18-20k .. But most importantly u can't guess the costing for those who compromises on living standard I.e hotel and food while travelling ... that cost of 18-25k is not for them .

India being a peninsula has very few exit points to another country! In the Southern part of the Country, one cannot go by land to another Country. However, in the West, North & East, there are a few places till where one could ride, and get a nice view of a neighbouring Country! In some cases, one can actually even enter another Country! Here are 9 such places where you can ride to, very very close to the borders! 1. CHUSHUL, LADAKH: Ladakh has been becoming a popular destination for riders over the past few years. While most people ride up till Pangong Tso Lake till either Lukung or Spangmik, very very few ride further alongside the Pangong Tso.

Who's that on my radio?
Who's that on my new tv?
Who's that on my stereo?
Sheila is invading me
She sheila's in my mind
The way she looks at me she might as well be blind
She sheila's in my head
And when I talk to her I lie alone in bed
Pictures all around me
Pictures of her everywhere
She's the picture of my dreams
Picture perfect picture stare
She sheila's in my mind
The way she looks at me she might as well be blind
She sheila's in my head
