Bogdang


Bogdang is a village in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. It belongs to the Nubra tehsil and the Turtuk community development block.

Location

Bogdang is located in the Shyok River valley after it narrows near Yagulung, the portion sometimes called the Chorbat Valley, distinguishing it from the "Lower Nubra". During the First Kashmir War of 1947–48, the Gilgit Scouts that invaded the region were pushed beyond the village, and the cease-fire line was set at Chalunka, the next village on the Shyok River. Thus Bogdang was the northernmost village of Indian-administered Kashmir on the Shyok River. In the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Ladakh Scouts conquered Chalunka, Turtuk and other villages of the Chorbat Valley, making Bogdang safely in the interior of Indian-administered Kashmir.
