The central feature of the memorial is a pink sandstone wall bearing a brass plate engraved with names of the soldiers who died during #operationvijay . Visible from the site are the #Tololing Heights, Tiger Hill, and Point 4875 (Batra Top), where fighting took place during the conflict.

Over the years, several infrastructural improvements have been made to the site. On 26 July 2012, the Flag Foundation of India presented to the memorial a giant #nationalflag measuring 11.4 by 7.6 metres and weighing 15 kg, on a 30-metre flag pole. The Dras War Memorial is now an important landmark and a major tourist attraction in Western Ladakh. Watch :
