"Point NJ980420" (Point NJ9842) as starting point of
"Actual Ground Position Line" (AGPL).
Nubra River valley and Siachen glaciers held by India. AGPL starts from NJ9842 and goes north via Gyong La, Chumik, Sia La, Saltoro Glacier, Bilafond La to Indira Col West, all of which are held by India.

Indo-Pakistan borders: SC, IB, LOC, AGPL The actual India-Pakistan boundary is divided into 4 types of borders: disputed
Sir Creek (SC) riverine border, mutually agreed
India–Pakistan International Border (IB) from north of
Sir Creek to north of
Dhalan near
Jammu,
Line of Control (LoC) across
disputed Kashmir and Ladakh regions from north of Dhalan in India and west of
Chicken's Neck in Pakistan to Point
NJ9842, and
Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) across
Siachen from
Point NJ9842 to
Indira Col West. Siachen lies south of the
Shaksgam ceded by Pakistan to China via the 1963
Sino-Pakistan Agreement but also claimed by India and
Aksai Chin held by China since 1962 but also claimed by India. The Shaksgam Tract controlled by China is located north of the Saltoro mountain range from the
Apsarasas Kangri Range to 90 km northwest of
K2.
AGPL The AGPL runs roughly along the Saltoro Mountains from Point
NJ9842 on the India-Pakistan
LoC to near
La Yongma Ri,
Gyong La,
Gyong Kangri,
Chumik Kangri,
Bilafond La (pass) and nearby
Bana Post,
Saltoro Kangri,
Ghent Kangri, and
Sia La to the India–Pakistan–China trijunction northwest of
Indira Col West on the Sino-Indian
LAC. The peaks and passes under Pakistan's control such as
Gayari Camp,
Chogolisa,
Baltoro Glacier,
Conway Saddle,
Baltoro Muztagh, and
Gasherbrum lie west of the AGPL. ==Selected peaks==
