Drung frozen waterfall

If you are planning a winter trip to Kashmir, then a journey from Srinagar to Drung Waterfall must find a place in your itinerary. Located about 15 kilometers from Gulmarg and 42 kilometers from Srinagar, this waterfall was largely unknown until a few years ago but is now one of the most popular winter destinations of Kashmir. What is so special about Drung Waterfall? Well, in the summer season, it looks quite ordinary and not even that pretty in my opinion. But in the winter season, as the temperature in the valley drops, the water of this fall starts to freeze. By early January, the entire face of the mountain that it falls from is covered by a thick layer of ice. The water still continues to flow down but is surrounded by huge icicles and snow and looks quite majestic.
