This Time is real plan to visit Sopore, Bandipora, Ullar Lake, Razdan pass, GUREZ Valley, DAWAR, Habbakhatton, Harmukh peak etc. Here I've noted down few hints about GUREZ, Hopes you should through-up about this Highlands and finalize your trip for this Noble expedition travel trip with Me too. About GUREZ
Gurez
is a valley located in the high Himalayas, about 86 kms from Bandipore and 123
kms from Srinagar in northern Jammu and Kashmir, India. At about 8,000 feet
(2,400 m) above sea level, the valley is surrounded by snow capped mountains.
It has diverse fauna and wildlife including the Himalayan brown bear and the
snow leopard. The Kishanganga River flows through the valley.
The road to Gilgit runs through Gurez. Gurez is divided into three
regions. The area from Toabat to Sharda Peeth is administered by Pakistan as
Neelum District, that between Kamari and Minimarg is part of the Astore
District, Northern Areas, Pakistan, and that from Toabat to Abdullae Tulail is
known as Tehsil Gurez, and is part of Bandipora district. People of Gurez
valley are Dards, they speak Sheena language and have their ancestral
connection with Gilgit valley now in Pakistan. The feature and attire of the
Dards are similar to Kashmiri people of mountain region. Though Gurez is a far
flung area but the people of the Dard race have uplifted themselves by the
hard work and proper education. Dard women are fair with athletic built, who
spend the summer in collecting wood from mountains for the harsh winter; when it is impossible to move in 20 feet out
side. Ultimate adventure destination to the north of Kashmir, Gurez, is a
gateway to the famous silk route across central Asia. The pyramid shaped peak
named after famous
Kashmiri
poetess Habba Khatoon is most fascinating peak of Kashmir. The emperor Yousuf
Shah Chak who is said to be a Dard from Gilgit entered into Kashmir through
Gurez.
It is believed that when emperor was imprisoned by the King Akbar, his beloved Habba Khatoon used to wander near the peak to look for her lover. The roar of mighty KishanGanga river flowing across the valley, resonates with surrounding mountains that lulls a visitors to sound sleep. The traditional log wood houses make Gurez no less than
a
European country side. The trekking Routes from Gurez and Tilel lead up to
Gangabal and Sonmarg to its east and Drass ,Dahanu and Zanskar to its north.
The Kishen Ganga river in Gurez offers easy level of stream for Rafting and
tough ones from Tilel. Some of the mountains have absolutely challenging scope
for Rock Climbing.Trout fishing is a frequent sport among locals who through
in a line to get decent meal for the day.
Anglers can be delighted to catch a brown trout fishes in the Kishen Ganga River or the streams coming down from the mountains. Gurez has lovely campsites where the tents can be pitched near the river. 20 km from Gurez ,the awesome villages of Tilel have log wood houses which perfectly add to the magnificent view of mountains full of pine and fir trees. The road from Gurez to Tilel is just 7 years old, which has been extended upto Drass in Kargil region. The rugged and tough life of people of Tilel can make a visitor to contribute for promotion of the destination in one way or the other.
