✅The Kailash Range was the theatre of conflict during the 1962 Chinese offensive, with key battles at Rezang La and Gurung Hill.

✅In 2020, Indian troops secured Kailash Ridge in an operation that took the Chinese by surprise.

✅The Karakoram Range ends on the northern side of the Pangong Tso.

✅ The Kailash Range originates from the southern bank and runs northwest to southeast for over 60 km.

✅The Kailash Ridge is characterised by rugged, broken terrain with heights varying between 4,000-5,500m.

✅Its key features include Helmet Top, Gurung Hill, Spanggur Gap, Muggar Hill, Mukhpari, Rezang La and Rechin La. The Ridge dominates Chushul Bowl; an important communications centre.
