The ridge line of Marsimik La divides the basin of the Pangong Lake from the Chang Chenmo River.The description of Marsimik La in the Gazetteer of Kashmir and Ladak states:About 4 km to the east of Marsimik La is another ridge line which divides the western portion of the Pangong Lake basin with the central portion that drains into the lake via the Khurnak Plain. China's claimed border and the present Line of Actual Control runs through this ridge line. The passes Kiu La and Ane La lie on this ridge line.
