All About Draupadi Kund

Situated in a hamlet called Pandaras, on the Srinagar-Leh highway, lies Draupadi Kund, 75 km away from Kargil, at an altitude of 3,300 meters, it is the only altitude lake in the region of Dras.

The iconic spot has fascinated everyone who has tried to visit here and appreciate its beauty. The water here reflects every hue of sky in summers and as the season changes, the lake also changes its colour, from blue to green and then white in winters.

Scientists who have explored the lake believe that the water at the bottom of this lake does not freeze in winters, even on the coldest days, which is a remarkable fact about the lake.
