Река Чан Ченмо или река Чанченмо является притоком реки Шёк , часть системы реки Инд . [ 3 ] Он находится на южном крае оспариваемой области Аксай Чин и к северу от бассейна озера Пангонг .
Источник Чанг Ченмо находится недалеко от перевала Ланак в регионе Кашмира , управляемого Китаем (как часть округа Рутог в Тибете ). [ 1 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Река течет на запад от Lanak La. В середине его курса находится перевал Конка , часть линии фактического контроля между Индией и Китаем. [ 5 ] Продолжая запад, река попадает в глубокое ущелье в линейке Каракорума, пока не присоединится к реке Шёк в Ладакхе .
Имя
[ редактировать ]Чан Ченмо означает «великий север» на тибетических языках . [ 6 ] Это в первую очередь название долины, а не реки. [ 7 ]

Долина Чан Ченмо находится в депрессии между хребтом Каракорума на севере и хребтом Чанченмо на юге. Депрессия продолжается в Тибете, вплоть до Йешила Кул (Bangda Co) и озера Lighten (Guzha Co) на границе Хотана. [ 8 ] В настоящее время депрессия признается геологической ошибкой, называемой разломом Longmu CO , частью более крупной системы разломов Longmu -Guozha CO. [ 9 ]
The Chang Chenmo River has its origin in a glacier southwest of the Lanak Pass, which lies on a low ridge in the middle of the valley. The southern mountains are much more glaciated than the north and possibly much of Changchenmo's waters are derived from them.
The Changchenmo flows on gravel bed for much of its course, described as "stony and bare". Numerous tributary streams flow into it from the north as well as the south, bringing alluvium. Grass grows in the alluvial beds, which is said to be used by the Ladakhis for autumn grazing. However, there is the ever-present danger of snowfall, which can cover up the grass. Unless the animals can be brought back over the high passes they would be in danger of starvation.[10]
In the middle of the Changchenmo valley, a large spur of the Karakoram Range inserts itself, causing the river to zigzag its way through its hills. The Kongka Pass lies on the last of these hills. To the west of the spur, the large tributary of the Kugrang River flows into the river. To its east the Kyapsang River does the same. Three prominent grazing grounds are found to the west of the Kongka Pass, viz., Kyam (or Kiam, also called Hot Springs),[11] Tsolu (or Tsogstalu), and Pamzal.[12] Another one called Gogra[13] is to the northwest in the Kugrang River valley, where another tributary called Changlung flows into Kugrang.[14]
After Pamzal, the river enters a narrow gorge through the main Karakoram Range, where it becomes a rapid stream. This part of the valley is not traversable except in winter when the river is frozen.[15][16]
Tributaries
[edit]In Chinese-administered Aksai Chin, the Changchenmo is joined by Toglung Marpo,[citation needed] Kyapsang,[17] and Silung Kongma.[17]
It crosses the Line of Actual Control to Indian-administered Ladakh near the Kongka Pass. In Ladakh, it is joined by Silung Barma,[17] Silung Yokma,[17] Kugrang River,[18] Rimdi River,[19] and numerous other streams before flowing into the Shyok River.[20]
Changchenmo Range
[edit]Changchenmo Range is the name given to the mass of mountains lying between the Chang Chenmo Valley and the Pangong Tso to the south.[21] It has several glaciated spurs which slop down and jut into the northern bank of Pangong Tso, and these spurs are called as the fingers. From west to east, these are named as the Finger-1 to Finger-8.[22] According to the Britannica, the Changchenmo Range and Pangong Range are sometimes considered easternmost part of the Karakoram Range.[23] Prominent features in Changchenmo Range are the Marsimik La, eight "fingers", the Sirijap alluvial plain, Khurnak Plain, etc.
History
[edit]In the late 1800s, in order to facilitate trade between the Indian subcontinent and Tarim Basin, the British attempted to promote a caravan route via the Chang Chenmo Valley as an alternative to the difficult and tariffed Karakoram Pass.[24] The Maharaja Ranbir Singh at the request of the British made improvements to the trails and facilities of the campsites in Chang Chenmo Valley.[25][26] Unfortunately, in addition of being longer and higher elevation than the traditional route, this route also goes through the desolate desert of Aksai Chin.[24][26] By 1890s, traders have mostly given up on this route.[17] At the time, Chang Chenmo valley was also a popular hunting spot for British officers on leave.[27][28]
Since the 1950s, the river is in the disputed territory between China and India.[4] As such, it hosts numerous border outposts from both sides, such as Kongka Pass, Hot Springs, and Tsogstsalu.[29][30] The region was also the site of numerous tensions in the past, such as the 1959 Kongka Pass incident.[29]
Transport
[edit]"Changchenmo-Tsogtsalu Road" (CTR), 55 km long: India's BRO will complete the construction of the 55 km long road, from the confluence of Changchenmo & Shyok rivers to Tsogtsalu by December 2023 (August 2023 update), to connect the strategic Changchenmo sector.[31] In October 2023, NHIDCL invited proposal to complete the "detailed project report" (DPR) to upgrade this road to a single-lane national highway with a 700-metre tunnel. The DPR must be completed in 10 months. The road will be updgraded as per the international standards including "highway design, pavement design, service roads wherever needed, type of intersections, rehabilitation and widening of existing and construction of new bridges and structures, road safety features, quantities of materials, cost estimates, and economic analysis".[32]
"Phobrang-Marsimik La-Tsogtsalu-Hot Springs Road" (PMTHR) or "Marsimik La Road" (MLR): BRO is constructing this motorable black-topped road.[33] It used to be a dirt track built earlier in 1983 under the supervision of Everester Sonam Paljore. Marsimik La in Chang-Chemno Mountain Range is 20 km line of sight and 42 km driving distance northwest of the Pangong Tso, and 4 km south of LAC.[34]
Tourism
[edit]Since May 2023, India has opened the Changchenmo sector for the tourism, no Inner Line Permit (ILP) are needed, BRO is building various roads in this sector and police is setting up the tourist check post. Consequently, tourist will be able to travel up to Tsogatsalu and beyond to Hot Springs via Shyok River-Tsogatsalu-Hot Springs Road as well as via the road from Pangong Tso & 18,314-feet-high Marsimik La (pass) to Tsogtsalo pastureland near the confluence of Rimdi Chu and Chang Chenmo rivers. In the next phase tourists will be able to travel up to the Hot Springs and the Police Memorial. The Memorial was constructed to commemorate the sacrifice and martyrdom of ten CRPF soldiers killed on 21 October 1959 by the Chinese while they were on a patrol.[33][35] "Chak Mandir" is a Hindu temple near the Marsimik La which tourist can visit.[34]

the five difficult passes through the Karakorams posed a barrier ... Cayley reconnoitred a route that went through the Changchenmo ranges ... if anything these new passes were higher than the ones they replaced, and the land in between them was also higher. ... The route had another advantage in that trade from British India could flow through Kulu via Changchenmo to Yarkand, completely bypassing the customs officials of the Maharaja at Leh.

October 19 a party from a permanent Indian post at Tsogstsalu, 60 or 65 miles west of the border claimed by India north of Lake Pangong, set up a temporary camp at Hot Spring, some fifteen miles further east. Three men of this party, who had made a reconnaissance eastward towards a pass called Kongka La, failed to return. A patrol of about twenty therefore departed on the morning of the 21st in search of them, dividing into two groups. According to the Indian account these groups were groups were suddenly attacked with automatic and mortar fire, one from a Chinese force entrenched on a nearby hill and the other from a force on the south bank of the Chang Chenmo river.
