Winter is coming to an end. Once the snow melts, fighting season will also start soon.

Here are some interesting photos. This is the area of the northern most border areas of India. Border with Pakistan, China, Nepal etc. An extremely beautiful part of the world and also a very difficult neighborhood, in terms of weather and geo-politics.




Below here are Indian Army soldiers on "snow patrol" near the Siachen glacier, close to the Chinese border.




Some of the same guys inching across a ladder bridge over an icy melt.



No handrails on this swinging bridge.



Below :  Going down an ice wall. Training, just in case. You never know when you may need to rapell down an ice wall.



Below : A little to the west, winter rains and flooding in Kashmir. Indian troops helping stranded villagers. The jawan (soldier) is chest deep in icy water. Tough people.




Carrying a child to safety.



Below :  These guys here are the Ladakh Scouts on some military trek up some mountains.  If any of you are interested the road from Leh to Srinagar has just been reopened - after four months closure due to winter snows.



Dog sleds too in the Ladakh. Army patrol.



Likely sappers checking terrain for crossing. 


Settling down for the night. Freezing their butts off.



Winter is coming to an end. Once the snow melts, fighting season will also start soon.  This summer will be quite hot in Kashmir.
