Stretching across the Line of Control (LoC), the Neelum Valley is a breathtaking expanse of natural wonder shared by India and Pakistan. On the Indian side lies Karnah, a serene haven in Kupwara, while the Pakistani side boasts its own enchanting landscapes of lush green valleys and cascading rivers. Despite being separated by borders, the valley’s shared beauty and cultural heritage transcend geopolitical divides.
The mighty Kishanganga (Neelum) River flows as the lifeblood of the valley, carving through dense forests, ancient temples, and quaint villages. The people on both sides share language, traditions, and a deep connection to the land. Yet, the political divide often overshadows this unity, with the LoC standing as a silent reminder of a fractured past.
Tourists visiting either side are captivated by the valley’s pristine charm—snow-capped peaks, meadows that bloom in spring, and the warm hospitality of its people. But beyond its scenic allure lies a profound narrative of resilience and hope. Neelum Valley stands as a symbol of what could be—a place where natural beauty inspires peace and shared prosperity.
It’s more than a destination; it’s a story of a paradise longing for unity amidst division.
