Drang is a place which is just before Gulmarg , you need to take take
a detour from Tangmarg ,go down 3kms .This place is very beautiful,
once you reach at the bottom ,the mountains form a valley ,through
which a river is flowing.Recently JKTDC made a beautiful park by the
side of the River.
Padsha pal its about 15 km from Dalgate,you need to cross the village
of Dara to Reach Padsha Pal.

Yousmarg is a set of meadows surrounded by Pine trees and Mountains.A
very interesting place to visit is Nilnag Lake, thought of which takes
me back in time to camp days when as kids we used to play hide n seek
in the Tall pine trees surrounding the lake.Yousmarg is about 47 km
from Srinagar.It is believed that Jesus spent his last days here at
this place in Kashmir,Yousmarg is said to be short form of “Yus” Youza
or Jesus and “marg” means a meadow.
Also One can trek or take a pony ride to Doodh Ganga about an hour
from Yousmarg.
Charari- Sharief can be visited on the way to Yousmarg ,this is the
shrine of famous Kashmiri saint Nund reshi 1440AD.
