First, let’s look at the big picture. The opening day also marks the fifth anniversary of the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, when we lost many brave soldiers from both India and China. Even though local residents could not visit the valley before, plans are now in motion to build the right facilities for everyone to enjoy.

Next, the Ladakh administration and the Indian Army are busy preparing the area. They are developing amenities and making sure all safety rules are followed. This plan will boost both border and rural tourism. Moreover, it will bring economic benefits to the local communities.

In addition, two main visitor sites are being built. One site is just 5 km from Durbuk. It will have a cafeteria, a souvenir shop, and lodging for around 30 guests. Another site, located 12 km from Durbuk, will serve as an extra stop for tourists. Furthermore, a museum is under construction at Galwan. This museum, which is part of the 2020 war memorial, will let you learn about the history of the place while you enjoy its stunning views.

Of course, safety is very important here. Since Galwan Valley is near a high-risk border, all visitors must coordinate with the Army for security clearances using a simple one-window system. Also, strict safety measures and acclimatization steps will be in place to keep everyone safe.

Right now, Ladakh is one of India’s favorite tourist destinations, with Pangong Lake being the top spot. The new battlefield tourism site at Galwan Valley is set to add even more charm to the region. Soon, when all the necessary infrastructure and safety rules are ready, we can expect a fresh and exciting chapter in India’s battlefield tourism map.

So, get ready to explore a new side of history and nature in Ladakh. I hope you’re as excited as I am to see these changes and enjoy the beauty of Galwan Valley!
