Overview

A day excursion to Muzaffarabad from Islamabad offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and culture. Located about 138 kilometers away, the capital of Azad Kashmir sits at the confluence of the Neelum and Jehlum Rivers. The scenic drive via Murree and Kohala Bridge takes around four hours, treating travelers to breathtaking views of lush green valleys and rivers along the way. As the gateway to the stunning Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad serves as the starting point for exploring the region’s natural wonders. Upon arrival, visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant culture, enjoy local delicacies, and explore the city’s architectural heritage.

Within Muzaffarabad, several attractions await tourists. The historic Red Fort, built during the Mughal era, offers a glimpse into the city’s past, while Lohar Gali and the riverside provide serene spots to enjoy the scenery. A must-visit is Pir Chinasi, located 30 kilometers uphill, which offers panoramic views of Muzaffarabad and the surrounding valleys, including the scenic Shogran Hills. At its peak, the shrine of Sufi saint Pir Shah Hussain Bukhari adds a spiritual touch to the journey. The city’s markets also offer a chance to explore local handicrafts, from traditional Kashmiri dresses and shawls to woodwork and dry fruits, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.

For history enthusiasts, Muzaffarabad’s Mughal legacy is notable, as the city was founded by Sultan Muzaffar Khan in 1646 and became the capital of Azad Jammu & Kashmir after the 1948-49 war. Visitors can also explore landmarks like the AJK Assembly, Supreme Court, and the Khurshid Tomb, adding to the city’s political and cultural importance. Whether it’s the natural beauty of Pir Chinasi, the architectural charm of the Red Fort, or the bustling local markets, a day trip to Muzaffarabad promises a rich and fulfilling experience for travelers.
