Overview

The road from Bandipora to Gurez crosses Razdan Pass at approximately 3,300 metres and the valley that opens on the other side looks nothing like the Kashmir most travellers carry in their heads. No houseboats, no garden crowds, no gondola queues. The Kishanganga River runs cold and green through a wide floor of meadow and the wooden houses of Dawar sit against a wall of peaks that includes the pyramid-shaped summit of Habba Khatoon — named after the 16th century Kashmiri poetess whose grave is said to lie at its base. This gurez valley kashmir tour package is built for the traveller who has seen the standard circuit and wants the version of Kashmir that those photographs do not reach.

Bon Voyagers handles the pickup from Srinagar Airport and covers five nights across the Gurez Valley with a private high-clearance Sumo or Tata Safari class vehicle throughout. Day 2 crosses Razdan Pass into Gurez with two nights at Dawar as the base. Day 4 pushes deeper into Tulail Valley — the quieter northern extension of Gurez toward the Line of Control. Day 5 returns to Srinagar via Bandipora. A Protected Area Permit is required for this route and the process is detailed in the terms below. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout.

6 Days

The gurez valley kashmir tour package begins at Srinagar Airport where the Bon Voyagers vehicle is waiting at arrival. The first day stays in Srinagar — a deliberate decision rather than a logistical one. The Razdan Pass road from Bandipora to Gurez is best attempted in the morning when visibility is clear and the pass is fully open, which makes a Day 1 Srinagar overnight the right structure.
The afternoon covers Dal Lake by Shikara, the Mughal Gardens at Nishat and Shalimar and the old city lanes around Hazratbal. The Srinagar evening, with the Zabarwan hills going dark behind the lake, is its own argument for not rushing through. Overnight in Srinagar.

The gurez valley kashmir tour package earns its distance on Day 2. The drive from Srinagar north to Bandipora covers approximately 55 kilometres in around 1.5 hours, and from Bandipora the road climbs steeply to Razdan Pass at approximately 3,300 metres — a crossing that typically takes 2 to 2.5 hours from Bandipora depending on road conditions and season. The pass itself is open from approximately May to November subject to weather and administrative clearance.
On the descent the Gurez Valley opens below — wide, green, almost entirely without the tourist infrastructure the rest of Kashmir carries. Dawar is the main settlement, sitting at approximately 2,400 metres on the western bank of the Kishanganga. Check in and rest. Overnight at Dawar.

The full day in Gurez gives the gurez valley kashmir tour package its core character. Dawar village and the surrounding settlements carry a wooden architecture tradition specific to this valley — log and timber construction that reflects both the available material and the heavy snowfall winters that the valley sits under for several months each year. The Habba Khatoon Peak dominates the southern skyline above Dawar at a height that local accounts place above 4,000 metres, its pyramid form recognisable from most points in the valley floor.
Khandiyal Top, reachable by a short ascent from Dawar, gives a panoramic view across the full breadth of the valley. The Kishanganga river runs along the valley floor and the meadows on both banks carry the kind of open silence that Gulmarg and Pahalgam have largely lost. Overnight at Dawar.

Tulail Valley extends northeast from Dawar along the Kishanganga toward the Line of Control — a quieter, less-visited continuation of the Gurez bowl that most travellers who reach Dawar do not push further into. The drive from Dawar into Tulail covers approximately 30 to 35 kilometres along the river road and reaches a series of small border villages of which Chakwali is the furthest point accessible to tourists in this belt.
The gurez valley kashmir tour package includes Tulail as a Day 4 full excursion from the Dawar base — the river views from the road, the timber villages along the way and the quality of the high-altitude light in this valley in the afternoon are what make the extra distance worthwhile. Return to Dawar for the second night. Overnight at Dawar.

The return crossing of Razdan Pass on Day 5 of the gurez valley kashmir tour package carries a different character from the outward journey — the valley behind rather than ahead, the pass as a threshold being recrossed rather than a destination being approached. The drive from Dawar back to Bandipora takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours and the descent from the pass into the broader Kashmir valley is a noticeable shift in both temperature and landscape density.
From Bandipora the drive south to Srinagar covers approximately 55 kilometres in around 1.5 hours. The Srinagar evening is the final night of the package. Overnight in Srinagar.

The final morning of the gurez valley kashmir tour package is in Srinagar. The drive from most hotel positions in the city to Srinagar Airport takes under 20 minutes on clear days.
Groups with afternoon or evening departures have the Srinagar morning for a final walk through the old city — Lal Chowk, the craft lanes and the Jhelum riverfront. Groups with morning departures should confirm timing with the Bon team at booking so the Day 5 Bandipora drive is structured to arrive in Srinagar with adequate rest before an early start. The Bon Voyagers vehicle drops at Srinagar Airport for the return flight.
