TO LAMAYURU

After Alchi we set off towards lamayuru following the Leh - Shrinagar highway....the route is picturesque and follows the indus ....
this is also close to the sensitive regions of drass, batalik and kargil so there is a sizable army presence here ....we saw the base camp of a helicopter unit called KARGIL KONDORS....the mottos and symbols on the army camps were really inspiring....as our trek progressed later we could really imagine how tough high altitude warfare is ......at places where a normal person finds breathing strenuous these jawans fought in highly adverse circumstances and reclamied the territory taken over by our enemies against all odds and paid a very heavy price for itin terms of life and limb.....this is something that we must remember......JAI HIND...
