The Kishenganga River, near the village of Sheikhpora. In 1895, the British author Sir Walter Lawrence called the Gurez Valley “one of the most beautiful scenes in all of Kashmir,” where the tourmaline waters of the Kishenganga River are framed by “mountain scarps of indescribable grandeur.” At the beginning in 1947, the valley was declared off-limits to outsiders. The ban would last for 60 years. Pakistan and India fought over the possession of #Kashmir; when a cease-fire went into effect in 1949, Kashmir was provisionally divided between the 2 countries. Gurez fell, just barely, on the Indian side of the border. Today, the de facto boundary — called the Line of Control — is one of the most militarized frontiers on earth. Michael Benanav, a writer and photographer, visited after Indian newspapers reported that the valley was opening to tourists in 2007. “In June 2008, local officials and residents said that my friend, Red Miller, and I were the first Westerners they had ever seen there,” he writes in @nytimestravel. A decade later, Michael decided to revisit. People there were still surprised to see visitors; some even remembered him. Visit the link in our profile to read the story in @nytimestravel.
