We follow the journey of Umed Singh, Gokul, and Rabari, three soldiers selected for the very first time to serve on the Siachen Glacier. Their path to the frontlines begins with 14 days of intense acclimatisation at over 18,000 feet, where oxygen levels drop to just 50-60%. This is followed by 3 weeks of grueling physical training – running with a 16 kg payload, mastering crevasse and avalanche survival, and climbing sheer ice walls at 90°+.
