Tulail Valley sits beyond Gurez Valley in the far north of Kashmir, one of the most remote inhabited stretches accessible to travelers, its position near the Line of Control requiring specific permits and careful travel planning. The valley follows the Kishanganga River deeper into border territory than Gurez itself, its Dard-Shin villages offering an even more isolated, unfiltered version of the border-zone culture found in the wider Gurez region. Tulail Valley suits only the most committed travelers already exploring Gurez — this is genuinely end-of-the-road Kashmir, rewarding those willing to arrange the necessary permits and accept basic infrastructure with a landscape and culture almost entirely untouched by mainstream tourism.
