Iffy Explorer's video: Exploring Demchok: Ladakh s Last Frontier Near Aksai Chin Could see Chinese Villages

Welcome to the latest adventure in one of the most remote and strategically significant regions of India—Demchok, located in the Union Territory of Ladakh. Nestled near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and in close proximity to the Aksai Chin region, this area is a hidden gem now opening its doors to tourists. In this video, I take you on a journey to Demchok, a village that lies near the contentious Aksai Chin area—territory that was lost to China during the 1962 Sino-Indian War. Aksai Chin remains a point of geopolitical tension, but the Indian government has now opened up nearby regions, including Demchok, for tourism. This marks a new chapter in Ladakh's tourism, offering adventurous travelers the chance to explore an area that was once restricted due to its sensitive location.
