Choglamsar, also spelt Chuglamsar, is a census town in the Leh district of Ladakh, India. [2] It is located on the bank of the Indus River. [3]
Two circular passes go to Leh via Choglamsar: one through Spituk, and other through Saboo.
Choglamsar was designated as a census town for the first time during the 2011 Census of India, which recorded its population as 10,754 and literacy rate as 98.55%. The sex ratio of the town is 648 (females per 1000 males); the sex ratio for the population aged 0–6 years is 953. [1]
Choglamsar is connected to Leh by road. The town has golf links, a polo ground, horticultural nurseries, and an arts and crafts centre. [3] It has Tibetan refugee camps constructed by the Indian government and the Central Tibetan Administration. [3] [5]
The village was badly affected during the 2010 Ladakh floods. [6]
According to the 2011 census, the town has 1 primary school, 3 middle schools, 3 secondary schools, and 1 senior secondary school; it does not have any colleges. [1] In 2016, the Central Institute of Buddhist Studies in Choglamsar was given the status of a deemed university by the Government of India, for a period of five years. [7]
The Choglamsar Bridge over the Indus River connects the town to Chuchat Yakma, the site of an Imambara. [3] In 2019, the Indian Army built a suspension bridge in 40 days, connecting Choglamsar to Chuchat Yakma and Stok. Named Maitri Bridge, it is the longest suspension bridge built over the Indus River. [8]
Choglamsar, one of more than 45 "settlements" – special colonies for Tibetan refugees – constructed by the Central Tibetan Authority (CTA), the Tibetan government-in-exile and Indian authorities.
