26 civilians complete Siachen Civilian Trek
Twenty-six civilians, including three women, completed the annual month-long Siachen Civilian Trek in September. The 120-kilometre-trek (to and fro), organised by the Indian Army, begins in Leh and ends at the 16,000-feet-high Kumar Post. Over 2,000 civilians reportedly applied for the trek, which is the only time when they can take part in an expedition to the world's highest battlefield.
