Things to do in Azad Jammu & Kashmir

  1. Red Fort

    This stronghold at a kink in the Neelam River was completed by Sultan Muzaffar Khan in 1646. The Mughals built their own fort and its importance waned, but the Dogra rulers of Jammu & Kashmir state rebuilt and enlarged this one. It's been tidied up for tourists, though significantly damaged by the quake, with an eclectic small museum inside and a tourist resthouse next door.

    You'll find some of Kashmir's best-known handicrafts, including brightly coloured woollen shawls and walnut woodcarvings, in the mazelike bazaar.

  3. Black Fort

    The Mughals built this fort above the river junction but it's used by the army and is off limits to visitors.
