Why Warwan Valley Is India's Most Exquisite Trek
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2019
- The Warwan Valley trek is the most exquisite trek of our country. There is no trek you would have done before this one that can match the experience of this trek. And there will be no trek you do after this that comes close. This might sound like a strong statement to make. However, our founders, who explored this trek in 2015, still stand by it.
After all, Warwan Valley is exceptionally stunning - even for Kashmir. Even if you have traveled to Kashmir before, seen Sonamarg, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and other places the valley offers - you are still going to be bowled over by settings of Warwan Valley. It is very unique to the region.
You start the Warwan Valley trek on the desert side, near Zanskar, at the Suru valley. Over 6 days, you crossover from the stunning desert side to a luxuriant green side of Kashmir.
During the crossover, you experience what we believe is Kashmir’s greatest adventure.
It is a great adventure because -- outside the astounding beauty there's a lot of thrill on the trek. You cross the Lomvilad Pass at over 14,500 ft, the approach to which involves navigating a tricky glacier. After the pass, you walk along the entire length of the Bracken glacier (around gaping crevasses and rivers gurgling deep below). And then you suddenly find yourself standing before the glorious greenery of the actual Warwan Valley.
From there onwards, it’s unprecedented beauty at every turn.
“Nothing can prepare you for the visuals on this trek,” says Sandhya UC, our co-founder.
Our founders explored the Warwan Valley trek in August 2015. They came back dumbfounded, to say the least. Arjun and Sandhya are two people who have trekked extensively in the Himalayas -- they mapped out Kashmir Great Lakes, Tarsar Marsar, Pin Bhaba Pass and brought it out for the world to trek. For them to come back visually stunned is saying a lot.
Watch the video to see our founder Arjun talking about the Warwan Valley trek. It’ll give you a good idea of what makes this trek exquisite. (We recommend watching it full screen, just for the pictures).

This is the rea where i m belong from thanks for explore this hidden valley
Just realized that many comments already talk about the Warwan valley being in Jammu division.
100 percent true! It is Jammu.
Amazing place, will do this trek for sure.
This channel is a gem. Really surprised why it does not have millions of subscribers. People are more interested in peeping other people's life that is why channels showing daily vlogs with saas bahu kind of life are getting subscribers in millions. .
Wowwwwwww amazing place thank you for sharing it guys😍😍😍👍👍👍
Thanks for this video ♥️, pictures were awesome 😍, willing to do this trek ✌️
Very very. Very beautiful warwan valley
One of a kind, looks like descending trek
I am going to do it for sure! thanks for great intro video .... will contact you as I am ready for this.... 🙂
Love from warwan valley📌
I live close to warwan
Is there a way from ikhala
Lucky you
where
Wow
It's not in Kashmir. It touches Anantnag, but it's part of District Kishtwar, Jammu. Kishtwar national park is another gem for trekkers. It has features of Hemis NP as well as green valleys.
This is very much Kashmiri, NOT Jammu. Any land belongs to its people--The overwhelming majority of people in these regions are Kashmiri, with Kisthwari itself being a dialect of Kashmiri language with some minor Pahari influence because of trade with Pahari regions of Himachal.
Completely agree with Rajat. Yes, Kishtwar is in Jammu division. Warwan valley should be called Jammu trek.
@@jklseries5595 don't agree with you.
Kishtwar is in Jammu division. Most people of Kishtwar are much more closer to Dogra culture and influences.
@@lovesharma4883 don't agree with u majority of people speak theri kashmiri and even every kashmiri understands kishtwari and vice versa.culture geography same .u might be from jammu that is separate thing.and marwah region dachan mughal maiden are purest form of kashmiri people where l
Kashmiri language is I purest form and same in kishtwar national park where majority of kashmiri people live some goes for bahderwah town.kishtwar doesn't relate to jamu in any sense. Same goes for doda ramban reasi side but from kulgam many areas of rajouri and poonch nelumm valley gurez Haitian Bala district draas of pok regions. U can't change
Nice 👍.. wish some day I’ll do once I become a strong trekker ..
Thanks for sharing, love KASHMIR ❤️
This Does not Comes Under Kashmir . This Comes Under The Jammu Division. There Is Another Place Bhaderwah Search It On RUclips It Also Comes Under Jammu Division
@@pbasu9979 don't know why we indians don't want to give Jammu it's own identity.
@@pbasu9979 Kisthwar region was placed under Jammu division only for political reasons. In reality, this land is culturally, linguistically, ethnically Kashmiri. It has nothing to do with Dogra/Jammu culture.
@@rabiyaashraf950 Making Jammu into a State wouldn't make any sense. Most sections of Chenab and Kishtwar rightly belong to Kashmir (in terms of ethnicity, culture, language, people, and everything else---The overwhelming people of these regions identify with KASHMIRI identity, not Jammu).
@@jklseries5595 not true.
Coming next year...
Nice
I travelled from wardwen to panikher kargil in 2023
Although this place is not in kashmir but some part of it falls in kashmir and some in kistiwar..and easiest way to go there is from Kashmir anantnag and moreover road has been fully upgraded upto margan top where u can enjoy beautiful scenes of two lakes
4:12 my village
That's wonderful!🔥
When the bookings will open ?
It takes 2 hours from Anantnag last village ,u have to descend a mountain and u have reached warwan valley ,though its in Kishtwar district .. I talked to locals and they told me that Kashmir is more near than Jammu but the person who divided region s should be awarded.. I mean u look at the geography of region and landscapes the r alike though its small
❤️
Warwan valley in kishtwar distt Jammu province
Warwan is a part of KASHMIR in every way (ethnicity, language, history, heritage, culture) --- It has just been placed under Jammu division for purely political reasons only. People of Warwan, along with most of Kisthwar, identify with KASHMIR, not Jammu.
Don't tag us as habitants of jammu province..our heritage,culture,ethnicity,language etc etc are exactly the same as Kashmiri's.we have been forcibly placed in jammu province...otherwise we r proud Kashmiri's.
And one more thing if u have have so much hate about Kashmir that u can't see anything good in it than it would be better to call it as a part of chenab valley ..no need to mention ur jammu here.
Buddies it's not Kashmir it's Warwan Jammu 🙂❤
Warwan Valley trek overshadows all other treks, including the Kashmir Great Lakes trek etc. Warwan Valley is a Himalayan sub-valley and a tehsil in Kishtwar District in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir in India. The Valley lies 68 kilometres northeast of Kishtwar and 89 kilometres from Srinagar the capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
@Hüntêr Gåmiñg , yes only motorable road is via Kashmir valley, but it lies in Kishtwar district and whole kishtwar district speak Kashmiri language.
@@rabiyaashraf950
Before calling someone else an idiot, kindly confirm your own knowledge. The overwhelming majority of people of Kishtwar and Chenab regions (barring Bhaderwah) identify with Kashmiri identity, NOT with Jammu. These regions have been placed under Jammu division for political reasons only. It would be like referring to Darjeeling as Bengali merely because it has been (wrongly) placed under West Bengal State. It would be better to put Darjeeling with Sikkim, just like it would be correct to put most parts of Chenab and Kishtwar with Kashmir division (which is where they belong).
@@jklseries5595 it's not politically motivated but it historically was jammu during maharajas time and if u see the whole chenab valley then kashmiri is largest group but not the majority morover 45% of chenab valley is hindu and they won't ever like to be with Kashmir at all bcoz of religious reasons and islamic radicalism in Kashmir so best is to give it a seperate division
@@Sk-vu8mi -- It is indeed politically motivated. These regions belong to Kashmir in every way. Moreover, keeping them within Kashmir administration (which is where these regions belong) also increases the Hindu population in Kashmir (if you want to look at it that way).
@@jklseries5595 if you understand how the regions have been divided geographically in India, it's based on the watershed principal and in this particular case Warwan valley lies south of Pir Panjal ranges so it's very much part of Jammu Division and not Kashmir.
This isn't Kashmir, this is in district Kishtwar,Jammu ( the largest and the highest district in the newly formed UT oif J&K) indiahikes please update the description
Jammu has got only Vashno Devi Mandir for people to visit lol
This is very much Kashmiri in every way. Kisthwari itself is a dialect of Kashmiri language.
Lol, it is actually part of Islamabad district, people are 100% kashmiris
It has road connection from anantnag district only
It's a part of Anantnag District of Kasmir Division..... I'm from the Ladakh side of this trek route.... My neighbour usually goes to Warwan Valley for his business trips.....
Hi Swati , can you tell me the name of trek @0.10-0.11..the bridge
Name of the trek at 0:10-0:11
Warwan is a tehsil of district kishtwar of chenab valley of jammu division not in kashmir....dont give wrong information
Can this trek be done in the month of September? I know Indiahikes done have batches but want to know if it’s possible
Hi Ajith, we don't recommend doing Warwan in September. The pass can have snowfall and become inaccessible. Also becomes really cold.
July and August are the best time to do the trek. You can find more details here - indiahikes.com/warwan-valley#best-time
What was the best time
July and August are the only 2 months you can do this trek Midhun.
Its Kashmir...
Exactly, this is part and parcel of Kashmir but wrongly placed under Jammu administration for political reasons.
@@jklseries5595brou alive
Is this a monsoon trek 😬⁉️
Yes, it is. But it's mostly in the rain shadow region of our country.
I searched warwan valley on Google maps . It gives no result .
It's there on Wikipedia
Bro it's on Google i m belong form that area when ever u wanna travel there let me know bro it ll be great to have there and explore this valley
Search Margan Top on Google Earth, you will find it. That's the highest point in Warwan valley
It's in the Kishtwar district and its is far beautiful than Kashmir Valley I am also Resident of Kishtwar
It is certainly not "more" beautiful. It looks the same as the Valley.
@Manish bhatt Yes.
And Kishtwar needs to be divided up--- The Pahari regions in southern part of Kishtwar can remain with Jammu if they want, but great than 80-90% of Kishtwar belongs to KASHMIR in every way. The people of Warwan Valley are KAshmiri speakers and follow Kashmiri culture same as the Valley--- Kashmir is more than the Valley, it includes >90% of Kisthwar, >90% of Chenab (barring Bhaderwah/Patnitop), and all of Neelam/Sharda region (POK) along with some minor border regions with Gilgit/Baltistan/Kargil.
@@jklseries5595 how can u claim kargil they don't share anything with kashmiris
@@Sk-vu8mi I never said all of Kargil, I just said that some minor border regions with Kargil belong to KASHMIR.
MOHMMAD MAQBOOL KOKA S.O ABDUL GAFFAR KOKA R.O CHOIDRAMAN TEHSIL WARWAN CHINAB VALLEY Ya ♥ ALLAH Hamareh Riziq MaaL Aur DOLAT Mainh Barkat FURMA Aamain Ya ALLAH Aamain 🙏 Ya ALLAH Hamareh Gonahoinh KO Maaf Furma Aamain Ya ALLAH Aamain 🙏
Umm, last time I checked, kishtawar district was part of Jammu not Kashmir valley, has Jammu totally lost it's identity today that we even call such beautiful places in Jammu as KASHMIR!!! Infact acc to history, kistawar district of Jammu was ruled by king of chamba(HP) in the past, and that king of chamba gave it to king of Jammu as dowry.
The people NATIVE to these regions are Kashmiri (or Kashmiri offshoots). They correctly identify with Kashmiri identity.
Warwah is not in kashmir, its in Jammu, kishtewar.
Only on paper. In reality, people of Warwan Valley (along with most of Kisthwar) are Kashmiri by ethnicity, language and culture. Based on this, these regions should be placed under Kashmir administration as it has nothing to do with Jammu culture
@@jklseries5595 exactly.this is what we people of Marwah and warwan valleys want
@@nayiemahmad7431 Love from Sringar brother . We are always with you
For people who are not from this region, here is a little bit of info:
Large sections of Chenab and Kishtwar (including Warwan) belong to Kashmir in terms of ethnicity, language and culture--Plus, the people in these regions correctly identify with Kashmir. These regions have been placed under Jammu division because of political reasons (since Kashmir Valley became the hotbed in the 1950s onwards and especially in the 1990s, and therefore the lesser populated Kashmiri regions were placed under Jammu division for political reasons only). Kashmir is NOT simply the Valley - Kashmiri includes all of the Valley + most of Chenab, most of Kishtwar, some border regions with Kargil, and most of POK. Kashmir in its true form is huge.
Kishtwar district is rightly placed in Jammu division. Most people from Kishtwar relate more with Dogra culture, Jammu culture
Although m from kishtwar our culture and dialect is somewhat similar to kashmir
@@tarunsharma7528 but some dogras get offended but they can't change relatity Kashmri language is the language of highest order Hindus that is brahmins
100% right1
Har khubsurat cheez kashmir nhi hoti mer dost...warwan valley is a sub himalayn valley and a tehsil in district kishtwar of chenab valley of jammu division...its not kashmir😂
Sorry but it belongs to kishtwar not in kashmir
These regions (including Warwan) are part and parcel of KASHMIR, but were placed under Jammu administration for political reasons. Please note that any land belongs to its people, and the people native to these regions are KASHMIRI in every way. Moreover, Kishtwari itself is a dialect of Kashmiri language. I suggest that you please meet with the people NATIVE to these regions-- All of them identify with Kashmir. Only the southern most regions of Kishtwar plus Bhaderwah identify with Jammu. But greater than 80-90% of both Kishtwar and Chenab regions in general belong to KASHMIR in every way.
@@jklseries5595 brother mere buhat dost ha kishtwar se aur unhe jo bhi kashmiri bolta vo hamesha usee gussa hote ha vo kehte ha ham kishtwari ha naki kashmiri language me similarity hone se koi jagah kisi ke under nhi aati... Aur bhaderwah aur chamba (himachal )ka culture same ha aur kuch had tk language to iska matlab kya vo himachal ko de Diya jay ..vese hi kishtwar ha🙏🙏
It's kashmir not india
