#ashokasays Did you know 285:
The length of the trek is 60 kilometres both ways and at altitudes ranging between 12,000 feet and 16,000 feet.
Those interested have to send a signed application to HQ Northern High Command, The participants will be decided on a first-come-first -serve basis. Applicants should preferably be below 45 years of age. Sorry to some of you as you might have crossed this age. Everyone selected for the trek has the required fitness to go on the high-altitude trek in extreme conditions.
The
trek is usually a 13 day long one. But the overall program goes on for a
month including acclimatisation, medical check up and the trek from
Siachen Base Camp to the Kumar camp and back.
By just going on this trek you will surely be a part of the three here..
1.This is the only chance for a civilian to visit the world’s highest and coldest battlefield and you'll be a part of it.
2. All along, the trek will unfold some really spectacular views of the mighty Himalayas and will surely test your guts and fitness levels.
Siachen Trek
I
know that there are a few trekkers in this group. How many of you can
take a challenge of trekking to Siachin. Yes Siachin. Not many countries
have this kind of terrain to trek and even if they have they do not
have the facility and a daring army like ours to assist you all along.
But its not really easy and just start off as you have been trekking in
other places. You'll have to go through a rigorous set of tests to prove
your fitness. Read through.
The Siachen Glacier is the highest and coldest battlefield in the world at an average altitude of 20,000 feet. The temperature dips to minus 60 degrees in the winter.
Civilians are usually not allowed to go beyond Panamik, a small village in the Nubra Valley famous for its hot sulphur springs. The annual Siachen civilian trek organised by the Indian Army, gives them a chance to trek up tothe icy heights of the glacier.
The Indian Army
conducts this trek for civilians, between August
to September every year. The expedition for civilians was started for
the first time in 2007 and is organised by the Army Adventure Wing.
About 30-40 civilians are selected. The Siachen Glacier is the highest and coldest battlefield in the world at an average altitude of 20,000 feet. The temperature dips to minus 60 degrees in the winter.

3. You can be a part of a team which shows a way of reinforcing India’s
sovereignty over the glacier which Pakistan claims as its own.
4. Last but not the least, it is an opportunity for you to showcase yourself as well as to the nation and the world the hurdles the Indian Army faces in manning and provisioning the peaks in the most inhospitable terrains where the weather is the bigger adversary than the opponent

But
one thing I can say is NO GUTS... NO GLORY. If you wish to go for the
glory here is an opportunity which possibly no other country offers.
INCREDIBLE BHARATHA
