Historically, Demchok served as a key point on the old trade and pilgrimage route between Ladakh and Tibet. The region was culturally unified until the Indo-China conflict disrupted movement across the border. Despite these divisions, the local traditions and Buddhist faith remain strong, making Demchok a repository of ancient trans-Himalayan cultural heritage.
