The Indian Armed Forces – the Pride and Joy of every Indian. The accounts of their heroics leave each and every civilian spellbound. One cannot even begin to fathom the courage a soldier displays. So, it is natural that when there is a memorial that commemorates one of the most valiantly fought battles by the Indian army, it attracts tourists like a moth to a flame. The Longewala War memorial should be on the top of the list of places to see in Jaisalmer. From the resort at Jaisalmer, you will take approximately half an hour to reach the Longewala War Memorial.

The Battle of Longewala was a major engagement during the Indo-Pak war of 1971. The battle was fought by 120 gallant Indian soldiers against a Pakistani infantry force of more than 2000 soldiers accompanied by 30-40 tanks. The numbers say it all. One can only bow down to such heroes who showed courage that is out of the world. You can Visit the Longewala War Memorial on any day of the week. In the memorial, the battle has been recreated for the visitors. Displays include demolished Pakistani vehicles and tanks, RCL guns and weapons, among other things.

When you Visit the Longewala War Memorial, you will only be 15 kilometres away from the International border.
