I am Saeed Akhtar Awan Headmaster Govt.H/s Kundal Shahi .Now a days I am obtaining higher education from Aga Khan University Karachi for my professional developement .I am at deputation from AJK Govt. for two years duration. I am very happy to see your work about neelum valley.Neelum valley is called Queen of beauty ,but we do not pay attention towards it.Now it is necessary for everyone of its residental to work for its betterment.Its beauty can be maintain only if we pay full attention towards its forests,roads,and tourism.This valley is blessing of Allah for all of us .I never seen such type of mountians,river,streams,greenary and sincere people in another place except neelum valley.You initiate a very good step,other people should follow you.God you and all of its wishers.Amin.

Gharib youyhave done a fantastic job and its appreciation should be as vast as the neelum valley is itself.I have visited neelum valley in 2007 during my university leaves. I went till Sharda, that should be named as the heart of paradise. Gharib i suggest you some thing about the composition of your work. You should make seperate pockets for each district photographs. Give some details of picture also try to mention the date of the picture. Give some details of the district. its beautiful spots , distance from other cities, source of transportation as well. Give some guidelines to the tourist about each district. Try to contact the nature lover , who can share some pictures with you with its full details. Focus on the places which you have left uptill now. This will be a guide for the people who want to see your work practically in the cool bareez of lush and green mountains of paradise on earth..........Kashmir God bless you! NOTE: Iam from kotli ( tatta pani). here are very beautiful spot like hot spring, sawar, poonch river, dhanna, hallan, pawra, barmoch, kanyat, sandhara, dabsi, jandrot, goi, dhanwan, garad, janjora saral, sehra, dara sher khan, battal, madarpur,mandhol, tahi,etc. most of these areas are situated at the bank of poonch river which give very beautiful view.

Great job done. Good Luck.

Ishi		06-Apr-2008 18:24
Mr Hanif, why are you allowing people to bombard this site with nonsense about tribes? In a modern civilised world there is no need for tribes and quoms. We are all fellow human beings.

hassan kazmi		06-Apr-2008 11:56
dear ghareeb hanif salam.. hopefully you will be fine. i just saw ur site and great work while i was surffing net.i am also a kashmiri but unfortunately i haven,t visited my mother land much enough. while i saw ur work i did pray for you. you are doing a great job and through this site you are showing people that our land is infact a paradise.unluckily our areas have not been facilitated in the respect of tourism. if our govt takes step to promote tourism industry in these areas i am sure that we can earn sufficient foreign exchange. any how keep doing ur great work our prayers are with you.

Guest		05-Apr-2008 17:06
I want to add here that magri is a marshal kashmiri tribe.magri sprung from Rajput (Kashtri un Nasal) origion.It is also spelled as Magray,Magre&Magrey ,but the correct spelling is "MAGRAY".the meaning of Magray is warrior,military and war like people.

RIAZ MAGRAY		05-Apr-2008 00:20
MAGRAY,MAGRI,MAGREY &MAGRE. All these words are used for Magray Tribe, being common noun at times spelled differently, but correct spelling is MAGRAY. Magray: Meaning and definition of Magray. (Noun) Magray is a warrior Kashmiri tribe. The first person who entered in kashmir and settled there belong to a Magray Tribe. Magray sprung from Rajput Origin. Magray Tribe ruled over Kashmir for seven hundred years. Afterwards Magray Tribe invited Mughals to enter in Kashmir and They defeated Mughals at the end. The word Margay is also spelled as �Magrey , Magri and Magre� .For lot many people (plural) it is used as Magres. Magray is an original Kashmiri tribe settled in entire Kashmir. People of Magray tribe also migrated from Kashmir to Pakistan and all over the world. Meaning of Magray: Magray means warriors, military and war like people.

Guest		04-Apr-2008 12:37
Great job done by Gharib Hanif well done and keep it up.

Waqar Mir (Leswa)		04-Apr-2008 10:05
Dear Ghareeb Hanif ! you have done some thing unique. i appreciate you. But your destination is yet to be accomplished. do not stop your journey to find out the beautifull corners of this "Earthen Paradise". you have presented the blend of words and clours which is an up hill task. i belong to Leswa and doing MA in Economics. I am having some suggestions for you to make this website more and more comprehensive and captivating. first try to include the pictures (at least 2) of every villege of neelum vally anlong with detail. you should also try to mentioned impoortant minerals and crops of the differnt parts of neelum valley. Also include the transport facilities of different areas for toursts. Upper Neelum Valley has been suffciently disscussed some beautful corners of Lower Neelum vally including Chilihana, Mir Pura, Flakan, Leswa, Jura and Ashkot should be included. Neelum Valley is rich in every respect. while going to Neelum Valley you often come across leswa. this land is furtile for best quality wood and many other minerals. specially its mountan peaks are regardable for tourists. hope you will continue your work as a preacher of your beautiful home land Kashmir ( meray watan teri janat main Aen gay Ek din)

Dear nadeem, Thank you for providing valueable information about Magray tribe.I am writing a book on "CASTS AND TRIBES OF KASHMIR" . My work is in completion stage,.I am of the openion that history of kashmir is not complete without mentioning the" MAGRAY TRIBE". In Neelum valley there are two other places one "MAGRAY ABAD "and other "SARDARI MAGRIAN' where magray tribe is settled..Good luck.

Nadeem Ahmed		01-Apr-2008 19:35
I visited "MAGRAY CITY" in Neelum valley.A beautiful City in Kuttan' near Jagran power plant. Name of the city was kept because of majority of " MAGRAY TRIBE'' in that city/area.Magray: Meaning and definition of Magray. Magray is a warrior Kashmiri tribe. The first person who entered in kashmir and settled there belong to a Magray Tribe. Magray sprung from Rajput Origin. Magray Tribe ruled over Kashmir for seven hundred years. Afterwards Magray Tribe invited Mughals to enter in Kashmir and They defeated Mughals at the end. The word Margay is also spelled as �Magrey , Magri and Magre�.But the correct spelling is "MAGRAY"For lot many people (plural) it is used as Magres. Magray is an original Kashmiri tribe settled in entire Kashmir. People of Magray tribe also migrated from Kashmir to Pakistan and all over the world.Books of history of Kashmir are full of recitations of Magray tribe in Kashmir. Meaning of Magray: Magray means warriors, military and war like people.

Very nice Dear Ghareeb Hanif i proud of you i m student of M.A(Economics, final year) in University of Karachi. when i saw this bewitiching and captivating site i was really surprised to conclude that the soil of Neelum Valley is very much furtile but this work is a great but not compliete. keep it up and try to add more and more beautifull corner of neelum vally and their names should aslo be given. and every village along with its pictures should be mentioned in detail. i hope when you will do accordingly neelum vally's history will never forget you

Muhammad Zulqarnain Abbas		25-Jun-2007 14:59
Well-done Mr. Gharib Hanif. This is really excellent effort to reveal natural beauty of Neelam valley gifted by Almighty Allah. But I would like to mention that people of Neelam valley are more gorgeous than the valley itself, who have so far preserved this beauty. I have been working with them from the platform of Islamic Relief. I found them really trust worthy, enthusiastic towards development, having tremendous potential of improvement of their living standards through self help. They have bravely faced across border firing and natural disaster. They are good hosts. No major issue of lawlessness has been noticed during my stay in Neelam valley. I wish them all the best. Zulqarnain

Mr Gharib Hanif should be honoured by the govt of Azad Kashmir for the work he has done in promoting the Kashmir issue and for showing Azad Kashmir to the whole world.

Naqash		29-Nov-2006 23:37
Mr Zafar Iqbal, you fail to appreciate one thing. Whilst Mr Mughal does photography to earn money, Mr hanif has done it for other reasons. Mr Gharib Hanif has spent half his life promoting the Kashmir cause though his photographs and his websites and all that at no cost to anyone. He has always served Kashmir free. He has had many of his photos published in magazines and books where he has not charged a single rupee. Its good that we have 2 great photographs serving this side of Kashmir, but keep things in perspetive. Good luck to both of them.

zafar iqbal,muzaffarabad		29-Nov-2006 22:16
these images are better. but no one can compete amirudin mughal.he is famous kashmiri photo journalist,social worker.he has acheived many awards for his excellent pictures.during the devastating earthquake of october 8,2008 he was severely injured but after recevering he started his professioanal work.his excellent pix are available on sites of diffrent interntional and national media.

This is a great work of art . The way you went out and captured the stunning beauty of Azad Kashmir, it can only be described as a truely 100% performances of a dedicated and a nature loving person. Is it possible to add some photpgraphs of a beautiful valley ,called Samani. This scenic valley lies in the north of distt Bhimber A.k,and has lots of wonderful natural views.

I am delighted to see your fantastic effort on the web. I visited Neelam Valley in 1984. At that time I was working in Attock City as Medical Officer in DHQ Hospital Attock. I am in Ireland for the last 16 years. I am working as Consultant Plastic Surgeon here in Ireland. In 1984, I did trekking with my friend Liaqat Ali from Attock. We trekked from Kel to Folowai where we were the guests of Local Imam Qazi Muneebullah Sb. We continued to Taobat where River Neelam enters from Indian Occupied Kashmir and then we climbed to Dudgai Nar and reached Qamri Top and climbed down to Qamri Valley and climbed again to Burzil top and proceeded to Chilam Chowki and went to Deosai Plain and Skardu etc...... I was planning again to go to Kel next Year (July 2007) and trek along Shonter Nar to Astore and thereone we'll circumnavigate Nanga Parbat.

Thank you Mr. Hanif for your pictures. I have lineage in AJK and a lot of family there. I have followed your photographs for quite a while on the Kashmir site. As usual these photos are wonderful. Of course nothing can compare to the actual visit to the area. There is an aura in the air that is undescribable in words, that chill in the air in the winters, the smell of pine in the morning and a wonderful cup of tea to go with it. I think its time to get some large more modern photos to compliment the beauty of the area. Good job done!!!!

Gharib Hanif		12-Jun-2005 16:03
Sharda is a small town in Neelum Valley, AJK. If you go to Muzaffarabad, travel up the Neelum Valley along the Neelum river for about 70kms and you come to Atthmuqam. From there, you continue along the river (which at this point becomes the LOC with the Indian army just across the river), you come to Sharda after about 70kms. If you continue along the road, you come across Kel which is one of the most beautiful places in the Neelum Valley. Unfortunately, I was unable to visit Kel as I was on a tight time schedule.
