If you don’t like the crowded places and like to visit the untouched beauty, “I want the Kashmir before the crowds,” then a Kashmir tour package with Gurez Valley is exactly what you’re looking for. Gurez Valley, based in the far North Kashmir District of Bandipora, close to the Line of Control, cut off by the mountains for roughly half the year, and that long isolation is precisely why it has stayed so unspoiled, with its wooden villages, a river the colour of glass, and peaks named after a poet.
A Kashmir tour package with Gurez Valley, sometimes searched as a Gurez Valley and Kashmir tour,G pairs that raw, quiet valley with the familiar Kashmir you came for, so you experience both faces of the region on a single, well-planned journey. This Gurev Valley Tour starts from Stinagar and visits the Fanous lakes and gardens, then drives north over the Razdan Pass into Gurez for a couple of nights, before coming back through Gulmarg, Pahalgam, or Sonmarg, so you get the offbeat trip and the classic one together in a single journey.
Here’s the honest part, and it’s the reason booking this Kashmir with Gurez Valley trip from a local Kashmir team matters so much. Gurez needs a permit, the road in is rough in places, the mobile network barely reaches the valley, and the stays are simple homestays and guesthouses rather than hotels. None of that is a problem when someone who actually knows the valley is planning your trip, and all of it becomes a problem when they don’t, which is why it helps that we live in Srinagar and run this route ourselves.
Here's how the 5N/6D Kashmir & Gurez trip runs, day by day. The Gurez drive is long but it's the most beautiful road day of the whole trip.
The valley is small but every stop earns its place. Here's what you'll actually see on a Kashmir tour package with Gurez Valley.

Gurez is a hidden gem in Kashmir Valley, and if you like to include this in your tour package, then choose June to September as the sweet spot, when the meadows are green, the pass is reliably clear, and the river runs full. May and October are shoulder months that can be colder and carry a small chance of snow on the pass, and through winter the valley is closed entirely.
