What's truly commendable is how effortlessly the men in uniform go through the exercise. For anyone watching, one thing is for sure - the vast expanse of snow and freezing cold temperatures don't make it easy for anyone, least of all for the brave men and women living and training there.

Indo-Tibetan Border Police was raised on October 24, 1962, after the Sino-Indian War with the aim to guard India's borders. This can mean keeping a watchful eye on borders that extend as far as 3,488km at altitudes as high as 18,800 ft. Now if that doesn't inspire pride and respect, what will.
