I was travelling to Bumla Pass (15,200 feet above sea level) during first week of April with freezing temperature. The land is considered highly sensitive area as a war was already fought there between two mostly populated nations in the world, India and China. Border Security Forces from both the sides were in service round the clock despite hostile weather. My heart was pounding to meet the brave army right at the border who were always behind the arms despite hostile weather for the service of the nation.
