  • Ladakh Corral Improvement Program – the History
    Ladakh Corral Improvement Program – The History Background: Proclaimed in 1981, the 3,350 square kilometer Hemis National Park is located in northwestern India in the Ladakh District of Jammu and Kashmir State. Besides offering excellent snow leopard habitat, it harbors four species of wild sheep and goats—giving this park international biodiversity importance. Elevations in this stark arid transHimalayan landscape range from 10,800 feet to some 21,000 feet. The Zanskar River cuts a spectacularly deep and rugged gorge through the park. While the canyon is impassable in summer, in winter people can walk along the frozen riverbed. Although the vegetation is sparse, there is a diverse range of large mammals amid varied mountain and riverine habitats. Current biological surveys are needed to obtain reliable wildlife population estimates, but previous rough estimates in the existing park and the potential extension are as follows: up to 100 snow leopards, a few lynx, 25-50 wolf and wild dog. Blue sheep are the most abundant ungulate, with an estimated 3,000. Two ungulate species are endangered: the Ladakh urial (±300), and the Argali (±25). Hemis is located at the very edge of Asiatic ibex range, with an estimated ±50 individuals. An analysis of scats or droppings indicates that blue sheep are the snow leopard’s main prey, followed by domestic livestock, marmot, Tibetan hare, pika or mousehare, and such gamebirds as the snowcock and chukor partridge. About 1,600 people live in the park in 16 small settlements scattered in three valleys – the Rumbak valley (4 villages); the Markha valley (7 villages) and the Shang Valley (5 villages).

    MY LADAKH DIARY - 4 Lt Gen SK Singh, PVSM, UYSM, LADAKH- A LAND OF AVSM (Retd) Former Vice Chief of the Army Staff, Army Commander NATIONAL GLORY, South Western Command and VALOUR & PILGRIMAGE Corps Commander, Ladakh. 2 On the pious occasion of 21st Anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas on 25- 26 July 2020, let us pay homage to our brave Martyrs who have made supreme sacrifice in defending Ladakh, which has been a scene of all wars India has fought since its independence, namely, Indo-Pak War of 1947-48, Indo-China War of 1962, Indo-Pak Wars of 1965 & 1971, OP MEGHDOOT in Siachen since 1984, Kargil War of 1999, and the recent clashes at Galwan between Indian and Chinese forces on 15 June 2020. In all countries of the world, the old battlefields become the places of pilgrimage, where the people of the nation, especially the young generation 3 are motivated and baptized with the spirit of patriotism. Australia and New Zealand sponsor and encourage all their citizens, especially the young, to visit far off island of Gallipoli in Turkey, where the Australian and New Zealand Corps had fought in the First World War. There is a saying amongst the Australians and New Zealanders about this war, “This is where our nationhood was born”. Ladakh has all the battlefields of post independence era to which the present generation can connect and be proud of. I had enunciated this vision in 2009 while celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Kargil Diwas at Drass, and I am happy to note the development of Kargil into a popular tourist hub.
