When you plan a trip to Gurez and search for a list of places to visit in the valley, one name that will always be on top of that list is Habba Khatoon peak. But when you visit Gurez, you realize that it is not actually a tourist attraction at all. It is just another mountain among thousands of other Himalayan peaks all around.<\/p>\n

There is nothing different about it, and there will be times when you may even get confused about which one is the Habba Khatoon peak. It is just a gigantic mountain, a huge assembly of rock standing tall and overlooking Dawar, the central township of Gurez.<\/p>\n

So what is it that makes it so special then? It does look pretty at dawn and dusk but then it is not the mountain that is famous. Rather, it is the person that it has been named after who is an important part of Kashmiri history.<\/p>\n

It is Habba Khatoon the woman that people know and talk about, not Habba Khatoon the mountain. She is the one that the people of Gurez so fondly remember. The mountain is just their way of making sure that she remains planted firmly in their memories, that she remains spoken of and the name is not forgotten over a period of time.<\/p>\n
