The world’s highest war memorial was inaugurated at Galwan, located along the Durbuk–Shyok–DBO Road in Ladakh. This memorial honours the twenty Indian soldiers who lost their lives during the 2020 clash with Chinese troops. Designed with a granite trishul-damru structure, it includes an eternal flame, the national flag and twenty bronze statues representing the fallen soldiers. The site further features a museum and digital gallery developed under the Bharat Ranbhoomi Darshan initiative. To make the remote and high-altitude destination more accessible, additional visitor facilities have been created, enhancing both tourism and public remembrance.
