When you think of cold places, do you think of Antarctica or Greenland? What if we told you to look closer? Yes!
There is indeed no need to hop continents, when India has the world’s second coldest settlement. Colder than
inhabited Antarctica and Greenland!
Dras, a tiny village near Kargil, marks one of the most extreme barren landscapes of the valley. In winters,
temperature here drops to -45 Celsius, and has once gone down to -60 Celsius, too.
A landscape so cold it feels alien, where all else has stopped except for the chilling breeze! A town in its own right
with a scant populace but a strong one, Dras is a strategically important mapped territory for India, and the locals have played huge roles in the Kargil war. A rough terrain has ensured less meddling and high preservation for all things natural. The barren landscape is graced with plenty of ice and crystal blue waters.
That’s where, Dras Ice has drawn its inspiration from. We endeavour to bring to you the freshness and uniqueness of the landscapes of Dras, where life is challenging but serene too, and all things are natural and unadulterated.
