Answers
Answer:
Those who complain about the weather getting extremely cold or too chilly in their city, town or village, need to visit Dras to understand the real meaning of the word ‘cold’! Many might not be aware of the existence of Dras, a tiny town in Kargil district of Jammu & Kashmir. It is the coldest inhabited place in India, and the second coldest inhabited place on the Earth after Oymyakon (a small village in Russia with a population count of a few hundred).
Explanation:
Situated at around 55 km from Kargil town, Dras lies on National Highway 1D, leading to Srinagar (on route to Kargil) and the place is extremely stunning with compelling landscape. With a tag of being the second coldest inhabited place in the world, you can only imagine the life of people there. Also known as the ‘Gateway to Ladakh’, Dras will give you chills that you would have never experienced. The minimum-temperature in Dras plummets to about -40 degrees Celsius, which is more than just brain-freezing.
