Operation Vijay: India's high-altitude war challenges

Operation Vijay in Kargil (1999) was a unique high-altitude war against entrenched Pakistani forces and extreme terrain up to 19,000 feet.

The Indian Army faced challenges including breathless topography, weather extremes, and unmapped ridges, but nature also aided in routing the enemy.

India buried 244 abandoned enemy bodies with due rites in nameless graves or rock cavities.
