Neelum Valley A Paradise on Earth

Neelum Valley  is a 184 km long bow-shaped thick forested region in  Azad Kashmir in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. It is named due  to the Neelum River, which flows through the length of the valley.

The valley is situated in the north-east of Muzaffarabad, running parallel to Kaghan Valley . The two valleys are only separated by snow-covered peaks, some over 4,020 meters  above sea level.

The valley is connected fromMuzaffarabadby Neelam road, which leads up to Kel. The road condition from Muzaffarabad to Athmuqam is very good and suitable for any kind of transport. From Keran to Kel road condition is not well and not suitable for low floor vehicles. In winters road onward Keran is blocked due to heavy snowfall and it is very difficult to reach upper parts of the valley.

Vans service is only available from Muzaffarabad to Athmuqam after every 30 minutes. Buses run daily between Muzaffarabad and Kel in good weather. Jeeps and horses are available to reach remote areas of the valley.
