According to the Indian stance, the line of separation should continue roughly northwards along the Saltoro Range, to the west of the Siachen glacier beyond NJ9842; international boundary lines that follow mountain ranges often do so by following the watershed drainage divide such as that of the Saltoro Range.
Menurut sikap India, garis pemisah harus berlanjut kira-kira ke utara sepanjang Pegunungan Saltoro, ke sebelah barat gletser Siachen di luar NJ9842.; garis batas internasional yang mengikuti pegunungan sering melakukannya dengan mengikuti pembagian drainase daerah aliran sungai such as that of the Saltoro Range.
