Just 14 kms from Gulmarg and 3 from Tangmarg, this Drung tourist spot is one of a kind. It was recently discovered and obviously has no hotels or other accommodations to boast. It makes little difference as the nearby Tangmarg has plenty of options for lodging & boarding. Drung is promoted for trout fishing and rock climbing facilities.

It is an ideal place for short duration trips or even a day’s picnic and it resembles to Pahalgam. The only difference being that though there exists a large stream; it is not as large as Lidder which flows downstream into the spot.

Drung is tucked away too deep in the pine forests and many log bridges can be seen used to cross over the stream. The side effect is that no artificial touches have altered in any way the beauty of this place.

Some monuments over the hills are believed to be the runs of Pandava temples. Only a few of the blocks have survived and the area is not much protected either.
