It's been 10 years since the Kargil war. July 4, 1999 was when a vital
victory for India was sealed. CNN-IBN's Pawan Bali met the heroes of Tiger Hill who
got together once again after a decade to remember the soldiers they lost.

This 16,800 feet high peak sealed India's victory during the Kargil war. It was
cleared after a battle of four nights, in which 132 guns were used and
over 30 soldiers martyred.
NATIONAL HIGHWAY
The Leh-Srinagar National Highway 1A, which has now been renamed as I-D, was the
main target of the intruders. The aim was to cut off this supply route to the region and Siachen base
CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS
Captain Sourav Kalia was one of the first six soldiers killed during the Kargil war. Their
bodies returned mutilated. Ever year on his birthday and Vijay Diwas, the families
receive hundreds of greetings from across the country.
HAMBOTINGLA PASS
On the way to Batalik you cross the Hambotingla Pass which is on 13,200 feet altitude.
The peaks captured during the Kargil war were anywhere between 15,000 to 18,000 feet high.
BATALIK TRIBE

Over 600 families of this tribe helped the Army as porters and even provided food to
the soldiers. A shepherd from this tribe was the first man to spot the intruders.
ROAD TO RECOVERY
Inaccessibility and lack of road connectivity was the main problem during the Kargil war.
Ten years later, most of the peaks have well metalled roads.
THE TOWN THAT SAW IT ALL
Kargil town, which was completely deserted during the war, recalls the close
encounter with 62 days of bombing and constant enemy fire.
TRYST WITH TERROR
The intruders were barely three kilometers away from Drass town. People here still
live under the shadow of that war that was at their doorsteps. Drass is the second
coldest inhabited place in the world after Siberia.
