Azad Kashmir · Neelum District
White water, wooden villages, green slopes.
April – October 3–4 days Valleys
Neelum Valley follows the Neelum (Kishanganga) River through the northern part of Azad Kashmir. Wooden villages, orchards, rapids and pine-covered slopes line the road to Sharda and Arang Kel.
Neelum is the northernmost and largest district of Azad Kashmir — a long, green drive that rewards slow travel.
