Drang Waterfall is a refreshing stop on the road to Gulmarg, tucked away near the small town of Tangmarg. A short walk from the roadside leads you past apple orchards and pine to a cascade tumbling over mossy rocks into a cold mountain stream. It is an easy, family-friendly detour that many travellers pair with their Gulmarg trip, offering a quiet slice of nature away from the busier meadows. Local trout runs in the waters nearby, and simple tea stalls make it a pleasant spot to pause, breathe the crisp air and take in the sound of falling water.
Best time to visit: Late spring through summer is ideal, when the walk is easy and the water flows strong from snowmelt. Autumn brings golden orchards and a calmer scene. In deep winter the path can be snowbound and slippery, so tread carefully or visit in warmer months.
How to reach: Drang lies near Tangmarg on the Gulmarg route. From Srinagar it is about a one and a half to two hour drive of roughly 40 to 45 km to Tangmarg, from where the waterfall is a short ride and a brief walk away. Most travellers combine it with a Gulmarg excursion by cab.
In the coldest weeks, usually January, Drang’s cascade freezes into curtains of ice, and it has become one of the most photographed winter stops near Gulmarg. Paths are icy then, so wear boots with grip.
