India’s new Dhruv helicopter is capable of ferrying troops and supplies up to Siachen, and it’s domestically-developed. China’s got more mature aircraft development capabilities, so high-altitude stuff is probably more within their reach. In any case, most of the Leh/Ladakh area is well within the ceiling of most military helicopters, though they’d have to fly between peaks to get in there.
