LOC Unravel is not just a journey—it’s an expedition to the very edge of India.
Spanning across the dramatic landscapes of the Pir Panjal and Shamsbari ranges, this curated drive takes you through some of the most remote, restricted, and historically significant border regions of Kashmir. From the storied roads of Uri that once connected Srinagar to Rawalpindi, to the far-flung valleys of Karnah, Keran, Machil, and Gurez—this is a rare opportunity to explore territories that remain largely untouched by mainstream travel.
You will drive along the Kishanganga River, trace sections of the old Silk Route, and visit villages that sit right along the Line of Control (LoC)—where geography, history, and human resilience intersect in powerful ways.
This expedition is as much about landscapes as it is about perspective:
With high mountain passes, military checkpoints, remote valleys, and surreal natural beauty, LOC Unravel is designed for those seeking depth, rarity, and meaning in travel.
