Making
the way through narrow valley

Leh-Batalik road is as notorious as the Srinagar-Kargil road. At its beginning
lie staging areas, at its end fierce fighting and often, death. Jawans patrol
the rugged slopes near Batalik. For them, there is little time for rest and
little time to think, always poised on the edge of action.
