Chushul airfield in Ladakh is recognized as India's highest airfield. Located in eastern Ladakh near the China border, it sits at approximately 13,500-14,000 feet altitude. This makes it significantly higher than other major airfields like Bhuntar (Kullu), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), or Leh. Chushul's strategic location makes it important for Indian military operations in the region.
