The double humped camel or Bactrian Camel can sustain high altitudes and low temperatures such as -40 C. It can carry loads of upto 170 to 200 kg.These camels are ideally suited for cold deserts like the Gobi or a high altitude plateau like Tibet. For a mountainous snow bound region the Yak is far more sure footed able to negotiate rocky and icy mountain slopes, withstand altitudes and low temperatures. But Yaks cannot carry the same load as the Bactrian camels. The Bactrian Camel is not as numerous as its single hump counterpart ( the Dromedary). China and Mongolia have the largest number of Bactrian camels. Pakistan has about 200 ( mainly in Baluchistan) abd India has about 150. These camels would likely have to be imported in numbers for a large scale transport use. One other animal for such use is obviously the llamas. They work just as well in high altitudes, rocky slippery slopes, in dry extremely cold climates such as in the Andes of South America..The more I think about it the more I feel like this is one of those ill-fated Indian defense acquisition ideas. Camels are not indigenous to high altitude regions. They won't work as well as yaks, which can be easily obtained from local Tibetan herdsmen.

Probably retiring soldiers. They usually wear a red sash and cry on their way home.
If the Indians or whoever nonsense wanted to play this same thing, well... we can play a lot on this too... for all the other militaries in the world.Saw this from the latest Indian defence forum.
