About project HIMANK:
Project HIMANK is a project of the Border Roads Organization (BRO) in the Ladakh region of northernmost India that started in August 1985. It is known for constructing some of world's highest motorable roads across the Khardung La, Tanglang La and Chang La passes. Umling la is the highest motorable road on Earth with height 5882 metres (19300 feet). It is responsible for constructing and maintaining motorable roads in Ladakh, along the Line of Actual Control.

Himank project ensures access to sensitive military areas including the world's highest battleground at the Siachen Glacier and Pangong Tso Lake (at 4420 metres or 14500 feet), whose waters span the de facto India-China border. Nicknamed "The Mountain Tamers", much of Himank's work is constrained to four months per year, as heavy snow and extreme cold make some roads inaccessible at other times. Between 1987 and 2002, at least 124 Himank personnel were killed while on duty in Ladakh, including five officers. Most of its manual labourers are from Bihar state, not Ladakh.

The project has been instrumental in improving the connectivity and mobility in Ladakh. The improved roads have helped to boost economic activity in the region and have also made it easier for the military to operate in the area.

The Ministry of Defence through Chief Engineer, Project Himank, Border Road Organisation, Choglamsar, Leh-194104 (The Authority) is engaged in the development of Highways and as part of this endeavour, the Authority has invited bids for the Construction Of Road Sumdo-Nidder-Rhongo From Km 0.000 To Km 30.000 [Net Length 30.000 Km] and from KM 30.00 TO KM 60.540 New To Nhsl Specifications Through Epc Mode [Net length 30.540 KM] Under 93 Rcc/755 Brtf Project Himank In Ladakh (Ut) (Epc Mode).
