Drang-Drung Glacier is one of the largest glaciers in the Indian subcontinent situated in the Kargil district of the Ladakh region in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The glacier is a stupendous mass of ice, which is a source of the Stod River that joins the Zanskar River downstream. Its breathtaking expanse is visible from the Pensi La mountain pass on the Kargil-Zanskar road. The Drang-Drung Glacier is a tantalizing sight for trekkers and adventure enthusiasts who flock to the region for its natural beauty and challenging landscapes. Visitors are rugged by the untouched serenity of the glacier and the adjoining snow-capped peaks. Due to its remote location, it remains one of the less frequented sites, offering a pristine natural environment. With its remarkable vistas, the glacier stands as a testament to the majestic creations of nature. The region's cold desert climate, with scant vegetation and rugged terrain, manifests the harsh beauty characteristic of the high Himalayas.
