Traditional Kashmiri Huts: A Guide to Mountain Living

Welcome to Gawas (Gowas) — Kashmir's Untouched Paradise! 🏔️ ​Tucked away in the picturesque Narwaw area of Sheeri, just 16–17 km from the Baramulla district headquarters, lies Gawas (also spelled Gowas or Guwaas). At an altitude of over 2,000 meters, this emerging tourist destination is a nature lover's dream, featuring lush green rolling valleys, undisturbed forests of towering Cedrus deodara (cedar) trees, and breathtaking Himalayan vistas. ​Because it's still off the mainstream tourist radar, Gawas offers a truly peaceful escape. It's so pristine that rare butterflies—like the Kashmir Meadowbrown—have recently been rediscovered in these very woods! Whether you are here for a quiet trek, nature photography, or just to soak in the raw beauty of Jammu & Kashmir, Gawas is a must-visit. ​Hit that LIKE button if you love discovering hidden gems, and SUBSCRIBE for more off-beat travel guides! ​📍 How to Reach Gawas ​District: Baramulla, Jammu & Kashmir ​Distance: Roughly 16-17 km from Baramulla HQ. ​Route: Accessible via the Sheeri-Narwaw road.
