Itinerary
Your journey to the magical landscapes of Azad Kashmir begins as you depart from Islamabad toward Muzaffarabad. En route, enjoy panoramic views of the lush hills and flowing rivers of the region. Upon arrival in Muzaffarabad, explore the city’s cultural and natural highlights including Domel—the confluence of the Neelum and Jhelum rivers and iconic sites like Red Fort and Pir Chinasi viewpoint, time permitting. Enjoy a relaxing evening in the capital of Azad Kashmir.
After breakfast, the road leads further into paradise as you drive northeast to Kutton Valley known as the gateway to Jagran. This serene destination, located 82 km from Muzaffarabad, is nestled in a gorge and surrounded by forested hills and cascading streams. Spend the day immersed in the natural beauty of Jagran Valley, soaking in its tranquility and enjoying light walks in the scenic surroundings.
Today’s journey takes you deeper into the heart of the Neelum Valley. Drive towards Kundal Shahi and continue to the charming riverside village of Keran, just 10 km further. From Keran, a short uphill drive brings you to Upper Neelum, which offers some of the most breathtaking views in the region, including glimpses across the border into Indian-held Kashmir. Capture stunning vistas and relax in the cool mountain air.
Bid farewell to the tranquil valley of Keran as you make your way back to Muzaffarabad. Upon arrival, enjoy a relaxed evening or take a stroll through the bazaars and riverside parks of the city.
Conclude your Kashmiri journey with a half-day excursion to Pir Chinasi—a majestic viewpoint at 2,900 meters offering 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks and Muzaffarabad valley. After absorbing these final panoramic vistas, return to Islamabad with memories of a paradise found.
