Drung Waterfall

Tucked away in the serene village of Tangmarg, about 40 minutes from Gulmarg in Jammu & Kashmir, lies a place that feels like something out of a dream—Drung Waterfall is a breathtaking spot that feels untouched by time. Water thunders down rocky cliffs, and in winter, it freezes into magical icicles—like a scene from a fairytale.

The air around Drung is fresh in a way city-dwellers often forget exists. It’s a place where you pause—not because you’re tired, but because nature demands your attention. You’ll see local children laughing and playing by the banks, elders sipping tea at small dhabas, and tourists like yourself wide-eyed at the natural beauty around them.

The charm of Drung isn’t just the waterfall—it's the slow pace, the wooden homes with traditional Kashmiri architecture, and the kindness of the locals. If you stop for a cup of noon chai (salty pink tea) or a plate of maggi (instant noodles) with a view, don’t be surprised if someone strikes up a conversation.

It’s simple, raw, and unforgettable.
