• The northern Himalayan region of the disputed territory Indian-administered Kashmir is claimed by India including (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) and the Chinese-occupied territory of (Ladakh plateau). Since 1972, it is divided between all three countries. See also Line of Control and Line of Actual Control.
• Siachen glacier (shown white) is an actively contested region between India and Pakistan. Since 1984, the region is under Indian control.
• The northeastern territory of Arunachal Pradesh is almost entirely claimed by China as part of its Tibetan territory.
• Minor areas of eastern Kashmir's Ladakh division, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand on the Chinese frontier are claimed by China. These areas are under Indian control.
• A small area of Uttarakhand adjoining the Nepal border along the Sarda river is disputed between the two countries.
