The Eastern Ladakh’s Rezang La houses the symbol of courage of the Indian Army; a revamped war memorial which was inaugurated by our defense minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday (18 November 2021). Built in 1963, Rezang La Memorial is a symbol of determination and indomitable courage by our Indian Soldiers. It is a place where many Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect our country from China in 1962. The battle restricted China to enter Leh during the war. Rajnath Singh paid tribute to 114 soldiers who died during the battle at Rezang La on 18th November 1962.
Rezang La War Memorial- Cherish the legacy of country’s brave hearts
Rezangla War memorial was constructed in 1963 at an altitude of 15,000 ft in Chushul plains close to India- China Border in the memory of Charlie company of 13 KUMAON Regiment who died while defeating Rezang La from Chinese troops. The memorial is one of the best places to visit in Ladakh to get useful insights on the legacy of Indian soldiers. The memorial is renovated without harming the structure and sentiments attached with it. The double storied museum, a mini theatre to screen documentaries of the battle, a large helipad and many other tourist facilities makes this place one of a kind.
