Nestled high in the Himalayas at 2,400 m along the ancient Silk Route, Gurez Valley is a rugged, breathtakingly beautiful frontier near the Line of Control. Cut off by snow for half the year, its timber-and-mud villages, roaring Kishenganga river, and jagged peaks like Habba Khatoon make it Kashmir's ultimate off-the-beaten-path adventure.
Pyramid peaks, roaring rivers, and timeless border villages — these landmarks capture the raw, untamed spirit of Gurez. Pick your favourites, then send us an enquiry below to build a custom Gurez itinerary.
A crystal clear spring named after the famous 16th-century Kashmiri poetess Habba Khatoon. Located in the picturesque Achoora village, the ice-cold water gushes from the mountains and flows directly into the Kishenganga river.
The lifeblood of Gurez, the Kishenganga River runs through the valley creating a spectacular gorge. The turquoise waters offer excellent opportunities for trout fishing, camping, and absorbing the raw beauty of the borderlands.
A wilder, narrower valley stretching east from Dawar towards the Line of Control, Tulail is characterized by sheer cliffs, alpine grasslands, and fiercely independent villages. The drive here is strictly regulated but offers the most dramatic scenery in northern Kashmir.
