Jeong Nala

The Jeong Nala, also called Jiwan Nala and Nacho Chu, and called Xidagou by China,  a tributary of the Shyok River (which in turn is a tributary of Indus River), flows from the disputed Aksai Chin region administered by China to Ladakh in India. It originates at the eastern edge of the Karakoram Range and flows west. It finally confluences in the Indian administered area with the Burtsa Nala on Darbuk–Shyok–DBO Road (DSDBO Road), and Burtsa Nala itself falls into Shyok River after flowing 7 km south. After the confluence of Jeong Nala with Burtsa Nala, the entire course of river flows along the DSDBO Road to Shyok village.



Geography
The Jeong Nala is to the south of Depsang Plains, with the Chip Chap River flowing through it, and the Depsang Bulge, which houses the valley of the Raki Nala. All the three rivers are tributaries of the Shyok River.

Just 10 km to the south of Jeong Nala, the Karakash River flows east, while Jeong flows west. China's Heweitan military base is situated on the bank of Karakash, which is also able to strategically control the valley of the Jeong Nala. The Tiankong Highway connecting Heweitan and Tianwendian bases passes through the Jeong valley. China also has constructed a motorable road in the Jeong valley to access the Line of Actual Control with India.
