World’s highest battlefield Siachen glacier is now opened for tourists

Now you can plan your next trip to the world’s highest battlefield, as India opens Siachen Glacier for tourists. According to reports, India’s Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh announced the opening of Siachen glacier for tourists on Monday in Ladakh while inaugurating a bridge across the Shyok River. Rajanath Singh further stressed on Ladakh’s potential as an important tourist destination in India. The Siachen area being opened to tourists mean that now you can travel from the Siachen Base Camp to Kumar Post. This has been confirmed by a tweet from the Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh. The decision comes months after declaring Ladakh as a Union Territory. https://twitter.com/rajnathsingh/status/1186228027178356736 Govt of India is planning to open Siachen Glacier for tourists from September 2019. About Siachen Glacier The Siachen Glacier is on the eastern Karakoram Range in the Himalayas, and India took over the territory in 1984 in an operation called Operation Meghdoot. Siachen Glacier is also the second-largest glacier in the world outside the polar region. The region was conflicted since it was not exactly specified as to which side the area belonged to during the Karachi Agreement in 1949. There were mountaineering expeditions to the highest battlefield from the Pakistan side, and that is when India launched its own expeditions, led by Colonel Narendra Kumar in 1977. The opening of the glacier to tourists means that it will be open to all sorts of adventure tourism, skiing resorts, and more. This is a great opportunity for India to develop one of its finest attractions, and have the world come to visit.

Siachen Glacier, World's Highest Battlefield, To Open For Tourists

The Indian Army is considering a proposal to open Siachen glacier, the world's highest battlefield, in Ladakh for tourists, sources said on Tuesday. Mountaineering expeditions used to be allowed to Siachen until 1984 before the ice-clad high altitude region was militarised following machinations by Pakistan. The sources said the proposal is being thought-about with all earnestness since it has return directly from Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, however no concrete road map has yet been laid out in this direction. "The remark was made by the army chief during a private meeting recently. The chief said that he is thinking over a proposal to open the Siachen glacier to individuals," a senior Army official told IANS. The Siachen glacier, that once used to be a demilitarised zone, came under the strategic control of India in 1984 following ''Operation Meghdoot''. The operation was launched by the Indian Army when Pakistan allowed a team of Japanese to undertake an expedition to a strategic peak in the Siachen glacier. The peak directly overlooked the Aksai Chin, an area that is under dispute between India and China. Both India and Pakistan used to send tourist expeditions to the glacier in the 70s and the 80s as the boundaries between India and Pakistan in the Siachen region were not properly outlined in the Karachi Agreement of 1949. The thought of opening the glacier for tourists has come at a time when Ladakh, where Siachen is located, is being carved into a Union Territory. The Union government is working on a variety of alternative proposals to develop the Ladakh region after it had been carved out as a separate entity from the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
