Drung Waterfall

Drung is a village off the Tangmarg road below Gulmarg, where a stream falls over a rock face. In summer it is a pleasant forest waterfall. In the coldest weeks of winter it freezes into curtains and columns of ice, and visitors come to see it in hundreds.

The frozen falls became famous through social media in recent winters and are now a standard stop on a winter Gulmarg trip. Tea stalls and snack vendors set up in season.

Planning

The falls freeze reliably only in the coldest spells, usually January and early February. The approach can be icy — wear shoes with grip. Combine with Gulmarg on the same day.
