This report contains short information about the geomorphological field trip in the Kashmir Himalaya. The guided trip program includes the following issues: the tectonic characteristics of the relief of the valleys, the sedimentation effects of the high-energy rivers, the mass movements, and the extent of the fluvioglacial and glacial forms, the wide river channel of a high-energy river covered in rock blocks, the genesis of the Kashmir Basin, the recession moraines, the wide braided channels of rivers, and the structure of the flood plain.
