A soldier's perspective
At the memorial, you will come across a museum offering a soldier's perspective of the war, bridging the gap between citizens and the challenges our armed forces faced. Here, the original letters and artefacts of the martyred soldiers will tug at your heartstrings. You will even find photographs, weapons, and equipment related to the Kargil War. This gallery was named after Captain Manoj Pandey, a young officer who was awarded India's highest military honour, the Param Vir Chakra, for his leadership during the war. You can also experience the war's narrative coming to life through a documentary showcased within the museum, offering profound insights into the harrowing events that unfolded during those tumultuous times.
The vantage point of the memorial also gives you the perfect spot to gaze upon the majestic Tiger Hill, one of the highest peaks in the world. When you depart, carry a piece of remembrance with you from the souvenir shop, where T-shirts, mugs, hats, and more serve as tokens of gratitude for the sacrifices made by our heroes.
