WHY THIS TRIP
Five Places Most Kashmir Tourists Never See
🏔️🇮🇳Keran – The Twin Villages
Two villages called Keran face each other across the Kishanganga River, separated by partition. You can see the houses on the Pakistani side from the Indian riverbank.
🛕Teetwal & Sharda Peeth
The ruins of the ancient Sharda Peeth temple — one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas — are visible from the Indian riverbank at Teetwal. The Kishanganga is 50 metres wide here.
🌊Lolab Valley
Called the 'Valley of Peace' — three sub-valleys (Kalaroos, Sogam, Drugmulla) with spring-fed streams, trout pools and meadows that most Kashmir tourists drive past without knowing they exist.
🎣Kishanganga River Walk
The Kishanganga (called Neelum on the Pakistani side) runs cold and fast through the Keran valley. Walk its banks, fish with a local guide, and watch the river that two countries share.
INCLUDED EXPERIENCES
What You Will Do
Trout fishing in the Kishanganga

THE PLAN
Day-by-Day Itinerary
1
Srinagar → Kupwara → Lolab Valley Arrival
Drive from Srinagar to Kupwara (90 km, 2.5 hrs) and onwards into the Lolab Valley. Check in to your guesthouse in Kalaroos. Afternoon walk along the spring-fed streams of Lolab — the valley has three sub-valleys branching off from the main route, each quieter than the last. Evening briefing on the Inner Line Permit areas and what to expect at Keran and Teetwal.
2
Lolab Valley Deep Exploration
Full day in Lolab. Morning: Drugmulla sub-valley — meadows and walnut groves with views of the Shamsabari range. Afternoon: Sogam village and the Kalaroos spring — the water here is cold enough to numb your hands in July. The valley has trout streams and locals still fish with hand-lines. Evening at the guesthouse with a Kashmiri dinner cooked by the host family.
3
Keran Border Village + Kishanganga River
Drive to Keran (45 km from Kupwara, 1.5 hrs via Kupwara town). This is an Inner Line Permit area — your guide handles all checkpoints. At Keran, walk to the riverbank and look across at Pakistani Keran on the other side. The Kishanganga is narrow here — you can hear conversations from the other bank. Afternoon: riverside walk upstream towards the army post. Return to Kupwara guesthouse.
4
Teetwal + Bangus Valley Entry
Morning at Teetwal (30 km from Kupwara) — the Sharda Peeth ruins are visible on the hillside on the Pakistani side, 200 metres across the Kishanganga. This is the closest most Indian citizens will ever get to one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas. Afternoon: drive toward Bangus Valley (permit zone). Park at the road-end and walk into the meadow for 2–3 hours. Camp overnight at the meadow edge.
5
Bangus Valley Meadow Walk + Return to Srinagar
Full morning in Bangus — the most remote day of the trip. The 30,000-acre meadow is flat, surrounded by ridgelines, and almost completely silent in the morning before the shepherds arrive with their flocks. Walk as far as you want in any direction. Pack up camp, drive back to Kupwara and onwards to Srinagar (arrive by evening).

Common Questions
Do we need a special permit for these areas?
Yes. Keran, Teetwal and Bangus Valley are all Inner Line Permit (ILP) zones due to their proximity to the Line of Control. The permit is free and we arrange it for all guests — you need to share a copy of your Aadhaar card 7 days before departure. Indian nationals only (foreign nationals are not permitted in ILP zones in Kupwara).
Is this tour safe given the LOC proximity?
Yes. These areas have been open to civilian tourism since 2020 and are regularly visited by journalists, documentary teams and adventure travellers. The Indian Army maintains a presence throughout the region. We have run this route since 2022 without incident. Your guide briefs you on the areas to avoid and the checkpoints to expect.
What is the accommodation like in these remote villages?
Guesthouses in Kalaroos and Kupwara are simple — clean rooms, attached bathrooms, home-cooked Kashmiri meals. They are not hotels. The Bangus night is in tents (we carry all equipment). If you need hotel-standard accommodation, this tour is not the right fit — the remoteness is the point.
What is the level of physical fitness required?
Moderate. The Bangus Valley walk is 3–5 km on flat meadow terrain. The Lolab and Kishanganga walks are also easy. There is no technical trekking. Anyone who can walk 5–8 km comfortably in a day can do this tour.
Can foreign nationals join this tour?
No. Inner Line Permits in Kupwara district are issued only to Indian nationals. This tour is exclusively for Indian passport holders. Overseas Indians with OCI cards should check with us — the rules change and we verify on a case-by-case basis.
