Rechin La (Chinese: 熱欽山口; pinyin: Rè qīn shānkǒu),[1]
which was called Rezang La[2] in the English language sources in the 1960s, is a mountain pass on the Line of Actual Control between Indian-administered Ladakh and the Chinese-administered Spanggur Lake basin. The pass is located on the watershed ridge of the Chushul Valley, on its east. China claims that the ridge is the boundary between the two countries, but India's claim line is further east.
About 3 km southeast of Rechin La (33°24′52″N78°52′29″E / 33.4144°N 78.8748°E / 33.4144; 78.8748 (Rèzàng Shānkǒu)) on the same ridge is a pass leading to an adjacent valley, which China recognizes as Rezang La (Chinese: 热藏山口; pinyin: Rèzàng Shānkǒu).[3]
About 3 km northwest of Rechin La (33°26′38″N78°49′48″E / 33.4440°N 78.8300°E / 33.4440; 78.8300 (Rezang La (1962))) is a pass that was the site of a major battle of the 1962 Sino-Indian War.[1] The "C" Company of India's 13 Kumaon battalion( pure Ahir battalion), made of Ahir soldiers, fought to the last man in an effort to block the Chinese PLA troops from crossing the ridge into the Chushul Valley. In which 1500+ PLA troops were killed by the 120 Indian Soldiers.
During the 2020–2021 China–India skirmishes, these passes were again the site of a major face-off between the two nations' armies.
