The Drang-Drung Glacier is accessible from Srinagar or Srinagar Airport in two days, by car or bus which leads by NH 1D, a national highway which connects Srinagar and Leh through the towns of Ganderbal, Kangan, Sonamarg, and Dras. Kargil town is at the half-way point. From Kargil the glacier lies on the right side of Kargil-Zanaskar Road which passes through a gorge valley of Suru River and under the shades of two mountain peaks of Nun and Kun. After crossing the Pensi La mountain pass a trek of one day from the road leads to the head of Drang-Drung Glacier. The road is only open to traffic from May-September due to heavy snowfall at Zojila and Pensi La passes, and the best time to visit is July to August.
