Dras in Jammu and Kashmir (-56°C).
Reason:
- Dras, located in the Kargil district of Ladakh, is known as the “Gateway to Ladakh”.
- It is the second coldest inhabited place in the world after Oymyakon (Russia).
- Winter temperatures in Dras can fall as low as -45°C.
- Its extreme cold is due to its high altitude, snow-covered terrain, and distance from the sea, which limits the moderating effect of oceanic winds.
