Drass

Nestled along the Srinagar-Leh Highway at 3,280 meters (10,761 ft), the historic town of Drass serves as the dramatic transition zone between the green valleys of Kashmir and the high deserts of Ladakh. Famed for its resilience in sub-zero Himalayan winters, Drass is surrounded by rugged granite battlements and rich tribal Balti-Dardic heritage.
