The expedition, led by Colonel Vinay Khosla, had three Officers, two JCOs and 17 other ranks summitting the Mt Nun peak in the Zanskar Range of Suru region (south of Kargil) over a period of three days -- with the last batch achieving success in the late hours of yesterday.
JAK LI draws its troops from Jammu & Kashmir.

Lt Gen PR Gangadhran, Military Secretary and Colonel of the JAK LI Regiment, has congratulated the team on the outstanding feat.
