Tsogtsalu
Indian border checkpost in Ladakh, India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tsogtsalu[a] or Tsolu[1] is a pasture, traditional campsite, and Indian Military's base in the Ladakh union territory of India, in the Chang Chenmo Valley close to India's LAC border with Tibet. It is located at the confluence of the Rimdi Chu river that flows north from Marsemik La and the west-flowing Chang Chenmo River.
History
During the British Raj, this was a halting spot for travellers to Central Asia via the 'Chang Chenmo route', passing through Aksai Chin.
Military post
After Indian independence, a border outpost was established here by a border police party headed by Captain Karam Singh. It continues to serve as a base for India's border forces.
A Formation Ammunition Storage Facility (FASF) is being established over an area of 24.2 ha (242,000 m2) at Tsogtsalu within the Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary for the Indian Army.[4]
