The
Raid sets its sights on Ladakh. The real Himalaya starts
now. There is little wonder that prayer flags flutter incessantly
at every high pass for they whisper silently to the gods.
Whether it is the great panoramic expanse of the Morey Plain
or Baralacha La, Lachhulung La or any othe pass, each crossing
means you are one step closer to the great unknown. The
winds are icy and the mountains silent as you focus only
on your destination – the Indian Army outpost at Pang. When
you get there you can only begin to appreciate what our
jawans face everyday at Siachen, for Pang is just an acclimatization
point .
