The Traditional houses of Gurez valley in Bandipora are different from the ones constructed in main valley of Kashmir. Since Gurez is a high altitude valley where it snows upto 10 feet so the houses made here are constructed keeping in view the harsh climatic conditions of the place. Therefore house are mainly constructed of wooden logs which are pated with mud from inside called Potayi in local Shina dialect.
