About Gurez Valley

Gurez Valley (centered around Dawar town) is one of Kashmir’s most pristine, enchanting, and untouched valleys, located along the Kishanganga River near the Line of Control. Dominated by the iconic pyramid-shaped Habba Khatoon peak, wooden Dard-Shin villages, and wildflower meadows, Gurez is offbeat paradise.

💡Why Visit?

Visit Gurez Valley to gaze at Habba Khatoon peak, sit along the turquoise Kishanganga River, experience Dard-Shin tribal culture, and camp under pristine starry skies.
