A Srinagar to Gurez taxi takes you into one of the most remote and beautiful valleys in Kashmir, far from the usual tourist trail. The road runs about 123 km and takes roughly 5 to 7 hours, climbing over the high Razdan Pass before dropping into the green Gurez Valley along the Kishanganga river. Happy Jacks Tours and Travels arranges this trip with strong, well maintained vehicles and local Kashmiri drivers who are comfortable on narrow mountain roads. Because Gurez sits near the border, an entry permit may be needed for some travellers, and we help you understand what to carry. The route is open mainly from May to October, when the pass is clear of snow. Rates are per day and confirmed on WhatsApp before departure.
The drive is long but rewarding, with sweeping views at every turn. Your driver plans breaks and photo stops so the day stays relaxed.
Gurez is a sensitive border area, so a little preparation helps. We guide you on documents and timing so the trip goes smoothly.

| Day | Plan |
|---|---|
| 1 | Srinagar to Gurez via Bandipora and Razdan Pass, about 5 to 6 hours; evening by the Kishanganga |
| 2 | Dawar, Habba Khatoon viewpoints and riverside villages, or a long day into Tulail |
| 3 | Drive back to Srinagar over Razdan Pass |
The road over Razdan Pass is usually open from about May to November. Mobile network is limited and there are few ATMs, so carry cash and share your plan before you go. An SUV such as the Creta or Innova Crysta is the comfortable choice. See the Gurez Valley travel guide.
Two nights is the minimum to make the long drive worthwhile; three lets you add Tulail valley.
Coverage is limited and patchy. Carry cash and share your plans before leaving Srinagar.
About 5 to 6 hours via Bandipora and Razdan Pass, depending on road conditions.
Gurez is about 123 km from Srinagar and the drive takes roughly 5 to 7 hours each way, since the route climbs over the high Razdan Pass on mountain roads.
Gurez is a border area, so a permit may be needed for some travellers. Carry valid ID, and we will guide you on the current requirements before your trip.
The best months are May to October, when the Razdan Pass is clear of snow. In winter the road often closes due to heavy snowfall.
For this long mountain drive we suggest an Innova Crysta for comfort, though the Swift Dzire and Force Traveller tempo are also available depending on your group size.
Call or WhatsApp +91 94192 44962 with your dates and group size. We confirm the vehicle, driver, permit guidance and per day fare in advance.
