Neelum Valley, Kashmir
A long, forested river valley running north-east from Muzaffarabad, dotted with wooden villages.
About Neelum Valley, Kashmir
The Neelum Valley follows its river for around 240 kilometres from Muzaffarabad towards Taobat, close to the Line of Control. It is one of the most consistently beautiful drives in Pakistan — dense forest, waterfalls at the roadside, and villages of carved wooden houses.
Keran and Sharda are the usual overnight stops. Sharda holds the remains of a Sharada Peeth temple and university site dating back well over a thousand years. Beyond Kel, a jeep track climbs to the meadows of Arang Kel, reached by chairlift and a walk.
Because parts of the valley run close to the Line of Control, travel here follows local advice on the day; our operations team confirms access before every departure.
Things to do
- Walk up to the meadow at Arang Kel
- See the Sharda archaeological site
- Stop at Kutton and Jagran waterfalls
- Follow the river road to Taobat
Getting there and around
Muzaffarabad is about four hours from Islamabad. The valley road is narrow and slow — allow a full day to reach Kel. Mobile coverage is patchy above Sharda.
