Rezang-La Battle Field.

India / Jammu and Kashmir / Leh /
 battlefield, mountain pass

On routine patrolling of the Rezangla pass. In the photo you can see the actual battle field where the 13 Kumaon Regt soldiers fought against Chinese in the 1962 Indo-China war to the last man last round. Till recently the helmets of the soldiers were lying there but now it is taken by the 13 Kumaon. But the live mortars and shells with the bunkers are sill there. In the back ground you can see Trishul Heights (Mandong Ri)(Black coloured 3 point mountain).

  • Sir, What are the bunkers further north on this hillock? One can see trenches and bunkers. The Chinese seem to have built a road here now
