Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

Shipki La is a high-altitude mountain pass located on the India-China border in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. It is geographically significant as the Satluj River enters India from Tibet through this pass, placing it firmly within the Satluj Valley.

  • Chumbi Valley: Situated in Tibet between Sikkim and Bhutan, it is associated with the Nathu La and Jelep La passes.
  • Brahmaputra Valley: Located in Assam; the Brahmaputra enters India much further east near Namcha Barwa.
  • Teesta Valley: Located in Sikkim and West Bengal, carved by the Teesta River.

Shipki La is one of India's primary border trade posts with China, along with Nathu La (Sikkim) and Lipulekh (Uttarakhand).
