The Neelum Valley Tour offers one of the most scenic journeys through Azad Jammu & Kashmir, a region known for its lush forests, sparkling rivers, and snow-clad peaks. This picturesque valley stretches along the Neelum River, bordering Indian-held Kashmir, and is often called the “Blue Gem of Pakistan.”
Starting from Islamabad, the route winds through Muzaffarabad, then deep into mountain valleys lined with waterfalls, pine forests, and quaint wooden villages. The fresh air, crystal-clear waters, and friendly locals make it an ideal destination for families, honeymooners, and nature lovers alike.
During the tour, travelers visit famous spots such as Keran, Sharda, Kel, Arang Kel, and Kutton Waterfall — each offering unforgettable views and cultural charm. The valley’s serenity, coupled with the hospitality of the Kashmiri people, creates a peaceful escape from city life.
