Drung Resort

Tucked away along Drung Road, surrounded by pine forests and mountain slopes, Drung Resort places you right in the heart of Gulmarg’s quieter side. It’s a retreat where the sound of gushing streams and distant waterfalls replaces city noise, yet you remain close to the area’s best-known sights and adventure spots. The resort offers the comforts travelers look for in the hills: reliable electricity, backup generator support, and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected even in this high-altitude village. After a day of exploring, you can unwind in the comfortable seating areas or enjoy room service if you prefer a slow, cozy evening indoors. On-site parking and CCTV add an extra sense of convenience and security for those arriving with their own vehicle or hired cab. Food is a big part of the experience here. The in-house restaurant serves warm, hearty meals that feel especially comforting after a chilly outing. Cool evenings often turn into memorable nights around a crackling campfire, where guests gather to share travel stories, sip hot tea, and watch the sky fill with stars. Adventure and sightseeing begin almost at your doorstep. The dramatic Drung Waterfall, with its changing character across the seasons, is a must-visit nearby. Gulmarg Gondola, one of the highest cable cars in the world, is within easy reach for those wanting panoramic views, snow play, or high-altitude skiing. The Indian Institute of Skiing & Mountaineering and Kongdori offer opportunities for winter sports, treks, and guided mountain activities. Several viewpoints—Drung Valley View Point, Gulmarg View Point, and the meadows of Buta Pathri—reveal sweeping vistas of snow-dusted peaks, deep valleys, and rolling forests. Whether you’re here to ski, trek, photograph the landscape, or simply soak in the peace of a Kashmiri village, Drung Resort serves as a comfortable base that blends nature, simplicity, and essential modern comforts. It’s the kind of place where mornings start with crisp air and views of the hills, and evenings end by the fire, planning the next day’s exploration of Gulmarg’s valleys, gondolas, and hidden corners.
