Chepzi, also spelt Chabji[1] and Dripuche,[a] (Tibetan: གྲི་ཕུ་ཆེ, Wylie: gri phu che, THL: dri pu ché)[3] is a village and military post in Tsamda County (Zanda County) of Tibet in China, close to the border with India's Ladakh. Chepzi is close to Chumar in Ladakh's Rupshu region. There is evidence that the people of Chumar have traditionally used the farmlands in Chepzi, and the village was included in Ladakh during the British Raj. However, independent India excluded it from its border definition. The border has been witness to a large number of incursions by the Chinese People's Liberation Army since 2011.[4][5]
