Bangus Valley

Two vast, linked meadows in Kashmir's far north-west — no hotels, no shops, no noise. Just shepherd camps, trout streams and grass that runs clean to the horizon.

The Valley

Grass to the horizon, silence above

Bangus is two meadows in one — the broad sweep of Boud Bangus and its smaller sibling Lokut Bangus — encircled by dense coniferous ridges in the Kupwara highlands. There is nothing built here: you sleep under canvas and wake to birdsong and mist.

It is the definition of untouched. We keep groups small and our footprint lighter still, carrying everything in and out.
