Gurez Valley, Himalayan valley in Jammu and Kashmir, India
The Kishanganga River flows through this 2,400-meter-high valley, bordered by snow-covered peaks and populated with fir trees along steep mountainsides.
The valley functioned as a section of the ancient Silk Route, connecting Kashmir Valley with Gilgit and Kashgar through numerous mountain passes.
The inhabitants of the valley belong to the Dard ethnic group, speaking the Shina language and maintaining distinct traditions in their clothing and architecture.
Heavy snowfall closes the Razdan Pass for six months each year, isolating the valley's 30,000 residents spread across fifteen villages from December to May.
The Habba Khatoon Peak, rising 5,000 feet above the valley, marks the entrance to Tulail Valley and contains world-class trout fishing waters.
