Drass
Drass, located in the Kargil district of Ladakh, India, is a high-altitude town situated at about 10,800 feet (3,300 meters) in the Drass Valley. Known as the "Gateway to Ladakh," it lies on the national highway between Srinagar and Leh, nestled between the Zoji La pass and Kargil town.
Drass is famous for its extremely cold winters, often recording temperatures as low as -45°C, making it one of the coldest inhabited places in the world. The town has historical significance due to its strategic location, especially during the 1999 Kargil War, when it was a focal point of conflict between Indian and Pakistani forces. The region offers scenic trekking routes and is marked by rugged mountainous terrain and sparse vegetation.
Drass also functions as an important stopover for travelers heading towards Ladakh, with facilities including accommodations and a tourist complex.
