Scenic drives through the winding roads offer panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains and verdant landscapes.

Unique Cultural Heritage:

Gurez is home to the Dard-Shina ethnic group, who have a distinct language, customs, and traditional way of life.

The region is dotted with ancient historical sites, including the Khandiyal Masjid, a 15th-century mosque, and the Gurez Fort ruins.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the local culture by interacting with the friendly inhabitants and experiencing traditional Kashmiri cuisine.
