Zojila Pass, also known as ‘The Mountain Pass of Blizzards’, is a high mountain pass located in the Kargil district of Ladakh.
It was the site of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1947-48.
It was captured by militias aided by the Pakistan Army in 1848, with the ultimate aim of capturing Ladakh.
However, the pass itself was captured by the Indian Army on 1st November 1948, in an assault codenamed Operation Bison.
