The Treaty of Chushul,[1] or the Dogra–Tibetan Treaty of 1842,[2] was a peace treaty signed between the Tibetan government of Ganden Phodrang (then a protectorate of Qing China) and the Dogra raja Gulab Singh of Jammu, under the suzerainty of the Sikh Empire, following the Dogra–Tibetan war (1841-1842). It was signed in Leh in September 1842 restoring the status quo ante bellum,[3] and for respecting the "old established frontiers" between Ladakh and Tibet.[4] The treaty is often referred to as the "Treaty of Chushul", perhaps in recognition of the last battle of the war which took place near Chushul.
