Tsosib Sumkyil (Tibetan: ཚོ་སྲིབ་གསུམ་དཀྱིལ, Wylie: tsho srib gsum dkyil, THL: tso sip sum kyil) or Churup Sumkhel (Tibetan: སུ་རུ་གསུམ་འཁྱིལ, Wylie: su ru gsum 'khyil, THL: su ru sum khyil) is the westernmost township of the Zanda County in the Ngari Prefecture, Tibet region of China. It borders India's Spiti region in Himachal Pradesh as well as Rupshu region in Ladakh. The region is watered by the Pare Chu river, a tributary of the Spiti River and an upstream tributary of the Sutlej river. China has ongoing border disputes with India for the southwestern border of the region near Kaurik and the northern border near Chumar.
