Koyul is a village in theLeh district ofLadakh,India.^[1] It is located in theNyoma tehsil, on the banks of theKoyul Lungpa river just before it joins theIndus River.^[3]

Geography

[edit]

The village of Koyul is in the Koyul Lungpa valley, which houses an active river that joins the Indus nearFukche. The river originates at the twin passes Zulung La and Dilung La on Ladakh's border with Tibet'sZanda County and flows northeast. Koyul is about 8 km away from the junction with the Indus.^[4]^[5]

Between the Koyul Lungpa and the Indus valley to the east is a ridge, which also goes by the name "Koyul ridge". China's claim line of theDemchok sector runs along the crest of this ridge.^[6]^[7]The Koyul village is just beyond the claim line (in undisputed territory), but the claim line cuts the Koyul ridge in half and partially blocks Koyul's access to the Indus valley.^[8]

According to the2011 census of India, Koyul has 115 households. The effective literacy rate (i.e. the literacy rate of population excluding children aged 6 and below) is 64.76%.^[9]
