The Lanak Pass or Lanak La is a mountain pass in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It is on the southeastern boundary of the Aksai Chin region that is controlled by China but disputed by India.
India regards Lanak Pass as a boundary with China,[1] Indian sources have cited several British travellers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who wrote that the traditional boundary between India and Tibet accepted by both sides was at Lanak La.[2][3] On the other hand, China considers the Kongka Pass further west as the boundary.[1]
Indian sources state that there were no Chinese troops in the area in 1952[4][5] and that the Indian army patrolled up to the Lanak Pass until 1958.[3] In 1959 Indian troops attempted to establish posts on the Lanak Pass, resulting in a clash with the Chinese soldiers who had already established posts at the Kongka Pass further west. The event preceded the Sino-Indian War in 1962.[1]
