💧 Drung Tangmarg: The Hidden Gem of Kashmir’s Highlands
Tucked away just 3 kilometers from Tangmarg, Drung is a place where time slows down and nature speaks in whispers. In winter, the waterfall freezes mid-air, forming a cathedral of ice. In summer, it roars to life, cascading down mossy rocks as pine-scented breezes drift through the valley.
Drung isn’t just a stopover—it’s a sanctuary. A place where children laugh in the stream, elders sip noon chai on sun-warmed stones, and travelers find something they didn’t know they were missing: stillness.
At Wildsnow Kashmir, we invite you to experience Drung not as a tourist, but as a guest of the land. Our curated visits are woven with local stories, warm hospitality, and the kind of beauty that stays with you long after the journey ends.
