Gurez or Gurais is a valley located in the high Himalayas, about 86 kilometres from Bandipore and 123 kilometres from Srinagar in northern Kashmir, India and south of Gilgit-Baltistan. At about 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level, the valley is surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

 

Dawar, located on the banks of the Kishenganga River is the central township in the area. Due to heavy snowfall in winter, ( approx. 6-7 ft ) the valley remains cut off from the rest of Kashmir for six months of a year.
