Gurez- Tulail Gangabal Trek

Gurez-Tulail Gangabal Trek expedition is a crossover trek from Tulail in Gurez Valley to Naranag in Sind Valley crossing Zajibal Pass (4080 m). Kashmir Treks is the only local agency that led a maiden and successful Trek-Expedition of Levison Wood’s Walking the Himalayas through this hidden valley of Kashmir in 2015 summer. Being the organizers of the trek, acquiring trek permits was the most challenging part of the trek; as the base camp lies close to the Line of Control. Kashmir Treks started an era opening this trek for many to come.
Gurez Valley is a beautiful amalgamation of mountains, a valley, and a river. It is a valley deep located in the high Himalayas, about 86 km from Bandipora near Wular Lake and 133 km from Srinagar in the northern part of Jammu and Kashmir. Gurez was part of ancient Dardistan, stretching from Sharada Peeth in the west, Minimarg over Burzil Pass in the north, Drass in the east, and Baghtor in the south. The Gurez Valley falls along the section of the ancient Silk Route, which connected the Kashmir Valley with Gilgit continuing further to Kashgar. At present, the valley is divided by the Line of Control between India and Pakistan, Minimarg along with the Burzil Pass lies on the Pakistani side, and Dawar and Tulail lie on the Indian side.
