Details
Gurez valley is dubbed and recognized as the best offbeat destination in India. Situated towards the far end of Kashmir and along the border, this picturesque valley has the best serenity and charm in entire India. The water that you will see running in the Kishenganga river comes just a few meters from Pakistan. It dances down to India and then goes again into Pakistan. Gurez valley Kashmir will transport you to a different vibe. The housing structure is primitive with mud and log. And the natural beauty is raw and pristine with virgin mountains, meadows, and mountain peaks.
The drive to Gurez valley is delightful as it goes via valleys, meadows, mountain passes, and the famous Wular Lake. The Gurez valley gets connected to the Gilgit valley of Pakistan on the other side. It remains closed for the winter owing to the heavy snowfall which makes Razdan Pass shut. Razdan Pass is the only road that makes Gruez valley connected to the rest of the country.
