Battle of Tiger Hill


Battle of Tiger Hill

On our way from Leh to Shrinagar was Kargil and Drass. The memories of the Kargil war came to mind. At some stretches along the road, there was a sign board "You are being watched by the enemy".

The Army learning from the previous war now has many weapons and positions that can are shaded from the hills under the control of pakistan. Then came Drass, the driver told us of about the peaks all around, tiger hill, Tololing etc.

More details on the war at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Kargil_Conflict
