Gurez

A trip to Gurez Valley is an unforgettable experience. Located at an altitude of 8,000 feet (2,400 m), the place is a real treat for visitors as you get to see real village life – people still living in log and wooden houses. 

The stream flowing from Kishan Ganga River and a must-watch Habba Khatoon peak will only help you relieve your mind of the noisy city and its hustle and bustle. 

To attract tourists, the tourism department is organizing a festival every year.

Gurez Valley is at a distance of 123 kilometres from Srinagar and 86 kilometres from the Bandipore district in North Kashmir. From Srinagar, the trip to this picturesque valley in a cab takes 6 to 7 hours. 

Given the nature of curvy roads carved out of mountains, mostly private transport plies on the route to Gurez. 

The journey is a treat with pine trees on both sides of the road refreshing visitors with its cool breeze.
