Born in Gurez, passionate about Kashmir — our story of authentic local travel
TripOrbit was founded by Umar Farooq, a native of Markoot village in Gurez Valley — one of Kashmir’s most pristine and least-explored destinations. Growing up surrounded by the majestic Kishanganga River, the towering Habba Khatoon Peak and the warm Dard culture, Umar realized that most tourists were missing the real Gurez.
That’s why he created TripOrbit — to bridge the gap between curious travellers and the authentic, untouched beauty of Gurez Valley. With deep local knowledge, trusted driver networks, handpicked accommodations and a commitment to transparency, TripOrbit has become the most trusted name for Gurez and Kashmir travel.
Today, TripOrbit serves travellers from across India and beyond — families, honeymooners, adventure seekers and solo explorers — all united by a desire to experience Kashmir and Gurez the right way.
We promote eco-friendly travel and deep respect for Gurez Valley’s fragile Himalayan environment and unique Dard culture.
No hidden costs, no surprises. What we quote is what you pay — complete honesty is the foundation of every relationship.
Kashmiris are renowned for their warmth. We treat every traveller as a cherished guest in our home — because in Gurez, you truly are.
