3 decades of Operation Meghdoot.
Here's a glimpse of life on the Base Camp. I hope to release the Book in early April! It will contain known and unknown facts.
Did you know for instance Indian soldiers deployed on the glacier don't eat meat or drink alcohol; for that matter last year temperature went down to Minus 74!
