'''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]]. Across the wadi, less than a kilometer away, is the Chinese-administered village, called [[Dêmqog, Ngari Prefecture|Dêmqog]], in the Ngari Prefecture within [[Tibet]]. This village was on an old route linking Ladakh and Tibet, currently closed.<ref>[http://www.hindu.com/2005/08/02/stories/2005080212731300.htm hindu.com - Ladakhis await re-opening of historic Tibet route]</ref> The village lies 36.5 km east of [[Ukdungle]]. | '''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.
