The Tololing peak dominates over the Srinagar-Leh Highway (NH 1D), which is a vital link. Peaks in Tololing include Point 5140 and Point 4875, etc. Tiger Hill (Point 5060), including Point 5100, is to the west of Tololing. Many of the Indian Army losses had to do with the nature of the terrain, as World War I style frontal charges had to be mounted to dislodge the intruders and reclaim the peaks. The three-week assault finally culminated with India taking control of the peak and changing the course of the war.
From Pakistan's side, Major Abdul Wahab (posthumously) was awarded the Sitara-e-Jurat, Pakistan's third highest military honour as Major Abdul Wahab was killed defending the captured peak.[4]
