About Kashmir • Neelum Valley
Neelum Valley (Kashmir) is the Blue Gem of Azad Jammu & Kashmir — a 240km long bow-shaped valley famous for gushing blue rivers, lush green meadows, snow-capped peaks, and the legendary Arang Kel meadow. The valley runs parallel to Kaghan and is known for Keran, Sharda, Kel, Arang Kel and Taobat — the last village before the Line of Control.

Insider Tips
Arang Kel is accessible via a 20-minute chairlift ride from Kel followed by a 45-minute uphill hike — it is Kashmir's most photographed meadow.
Sharda Peeth is an ancient 6th-century university ruins — a must-visit for history and culture lovers.
AJK CNIC card check-posts are frequent; always carry original identification.
Book hotels in Keran or Kel in advance for summer weekends — rooms sell out fast.
The valley receives heavy monsoon rain in July–August; check weather before travelling.
