The Cho La incident (1 – 10 October 1967) was a military conflict between India and China in the Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim, then an Indian protectorate. The Chinese People's Liberation Army infiltrated Sikkim[1] on 1 October 1967, but was repulsed by the Indian Army by 10 October. During the Cho La and Nathu La incidents, Indian losses were 88 killed in action and 163 wounded,[2] while Chinese casualties were 340 killed in action and 450 wounded.[3][2][4]

The end of the battle saw the Chinese troops retreating from Sikkim after being defeated by Indian troops.[5][6][7]

Sikkim became an Indian state in 1975,[1] which was not recognized by China. In 2003, China recognized Sikkim as an Indian state, on condition that India accept that the Tibet Autonomous Region was a part of China, even though India had already done so back in 1953.[8][9][10][11] This mutual agreement led to a thaw in Sino-Indian relations.[12]
