Muzaffarabad

Muzaffarabad

Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, serves as the gateway to the Neelum Valley. Nestled at the confluence of the Jhelum and Neelum rivers, the city bustles with life—its vibrant markets, terraced homes stacked along hillsides, and the ever-present backdrop of forested mountains make it a lively yet scenic stopover. Muzaffarabad is also where travelers switch from highway transport to rugged jeeps for the journey deeper into the valley.
