Drass Valley, often called the “Gateway to Ladakh,” is renowned as one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth. Located about 60 km from Kargil, this breathtaking valley is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, lush meadows, and glacial rivers. Drass is historically significant due to the 1999 Kargil War, with the Kargil War Memorial standing as a tribute to fallen soldiers. The valley offers adventure enthusiasts opportunities for trekking, including routes to the stunning Suru Valley and the Drang-Drung Glacier.
