Dras, India: World's Second Coldest Inhabited Place

Dras, India: World's Second Coldest Inhabited Place

Dras is a village in India that gets super duper cold in the winter, even colder than your freezer!

It's the second-coldest place in the world where people still live.

In the summer, it's a great place to go hiking and see beautiful views.

It's also close to places where a big war happened a long time ago, so there are special memorials for the soldiers who fought there.

You can stay in small houses with friendly people who will give you warm drinks.
