It is lonely at the top. Its also very cold. Last week, while the temperature in Delhi hit a sweltering 42 degrees, the Indian soldier was still shivering in minus 15 degree cold on the snowclad mountains above Dras.

So, despite a severe winter - when temperatures dipped to minus 45 - the troops braved it out.
