The expedition crosses Parang La Pass at an altitude of 5,578 metres (18,300 feet), connecting Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh with the Changthang region of Ladakh. The expedition is led by three female officers representing the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force, highlighting women's participation in armed-forces training.
