There's a lot about our incredible nation that we do not know much about. Let's have a look at some of the highest points of the world that are located in India: Highest Post Office: Hikkim Branch Location: Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh Elevation: 4,572 m (15,500 ft) The post office was opened on November 5, 1983 and handles around 15 to 20 letters everyday under the supervision of Rinchen Chhering. Around 50 people have their savings accounts in the Hikkim post office. It remains shut for a period of 6 months every year because of snow.

Highest Petrol Pump: Indian Oil Corporation Pvt. Ltd

Location: Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh

Elevation: 3740 m (12270 ft)

The highest petrol pump in the world is located at the Losar road of Kaza Village. It is quite an old-fashioned petrol pump as it only shows the amount of petrol filled and doesn't calculate the money to be paid by the customer.

Highest Battlefield: Siachen Glacier

Location: Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir

Elevation: 6,700 m (22,000 ft)

Siachen is a 76 kilometers long glacier, a mass of barren ice so high up one's speech is blurred; snowstorms are frequent and fresh food is rationed. More soldiers have perished in the harsh weather conditions as opposed to line of duty, and in the last 30 years 846 soldiers have sacrificed their lives at Siachen.
