Travel News Desk!!! Siachen Tour: Every year a large number of people visit Kashmir and Ladakh. But some people want to go beyond that and go to Siachen, which was not possible till now because it requires a special kind of permit, which is not easily available to everyone. But now Ladakh Tourism Department has announced that Indian tourists will be able to travel near Siachen Base Camp without any special permit. The Siachen Glacier area is under the control of the Indian Army.
What is the specialty of Siachen?
Apart from being one of the longest glaciers in the world, Siachen is also famous for the ongoing military conflict between India and Pakistan as it is also the highest battlefield in the world. Also, Siachen Glacier is being opened for tourists. Earlier, in view of the tension between the two countries, some areas of Siachen were closed for tourism.
Siachen Base Camp is located at the base of the Siachen Glacier in the eastern Karakoram Range of the Himalayas. The area from 12,000 feet to 15,000 feet is open to the general public for tourism.
Siachen Base Camp is built in honor of the soldiers who lost their lives during military operations here. There is also a war memorial here, which reminds of their sacrifice. These brave soldiers risked their lives to protect the country in difficult conditions at high altitude.
On the other hand, to promote tourism to the general public, as per reports, Indian tourists will now be able to visit the place without any special permission or NOC from the authorities. However, the district administration will collect environmental fees from these tourists.
Located in the Nubra Valley, Siachen Base Camp is one of the most interesting tourist places that must be visited during Siachen tour. But while coming here, the most important thing you have to keep in mind is what is the temperature here. The temperature at this place drops to -60 degrees Celsius or even lower. So before planning to come here, think about your health and keep as much warm clothes as possible.
