The source of Chang Chenmo is near the Lanak Pass in the Chinese-administered region of Kashmir (as part of the Rutog County in Tibet).[1][3][4] The river flows west from Lanak La. At the middle of its course lies the Kongka Pass, part of the Line of Actual Control between India and China passes.[5] Continuing west, the river enters a deep gorge in the Karakoram Range until it joins the Shyok River in Ladakh.
