'''Demchok''' or "New Demchok" is a small village and military encampment in the Indian-administered part of the disputed Demchok sector south of [[Aksai Chin]], in the [[Ladakh]] district of Kashmir. The [[Line of Actual Control]] (LAC) passes along the southeast side of the village, following a wadi just upstream from the nearby [[Indus River]].
