Gurez Valley | Visiting Villages on the India Pakistan Border

Exploring the HIDDEN GEM of Kashmir- Gurez Valley! It is one of the most beautiful places in Kashmir and perhaps it’s best kept secret! It’s remote villages are located so close to the India Pakistan Border, that tourists were not allowed here for the longest time, and it has only opened for tourism in 2017. Even today it remains inaccessible for 6 months in the winters, because the roads get completely blocked by snow. This lack of connectivity with the rest of the world has allowed the natural beauty of Gurez to remain untouched. No doubt the views and the landscapes of this place are straight out of a dream, but it’s real essence lies in the warmth and hospitality of the locals here and immersing yourself in their very unique culture. It's rustic wooden huts make you feel transported back in time. Gurez is one such destination that gives you the chance to slow down and really experience the place instead of just traveling through it. #gurez #hiddengems #kashmirvalley Gurez Valley comes under the Bandipore District of Kashmir and is located in the North of the Kashmir Valley.
