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, whereas China considers the Kongka Pass further west as the boundary.
Indian sources claim that there were no Chinese troops in the area in 1952 and the Indian army patrolled up to Lanak La until 1958, and there was an Indian flag planted there until 1956 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 Kongka. The event preceded the Sino-Indian War in 1962.
