Jhelum Valley (Urdu: وادی جہلم ) is a valley in the Jhelum Valley District of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan, along the Jhelum River. It stretches for approximately 50 kilometers (31 mi) and is known for its proximity to the disputed Line of Control (LOC) between Pakistan and India.^[1] The administrative center of the valley is Hattian Bala, a major town that also serves as the district headquarters.^[2]

• Chinari and Garhi Dupatta: Famous for their serene environments and panoramic views along the Jhelum River.^[3]
• Chikkar: A hill station which provides access to Zilzaal Lake, which was formed after the 2005 earthquake due to landslides obstructing a river's path.^[3][4]
• Loon Bangla: A dense forest area located 10 km from Chikkar.^[4]
• Awan Patti, Chakothi and Kotla: These locations lie close to the LOC, attracting tourists.^[3]

The valley is connected to Muzaffarabad^[5] by a road, providing access to its many towns and tourist sites. Basic amenities such as hotels, rest houses, health facilities, and educational institutes are available in most of the valley's populated areas. Tourists visiting the valley can also enjoy access to local post offices and landline telephone services.^[4]

While some parts of the valley, particularly near the LOC, have restricted access due to the ongoing territorial dispute, the main tourist zones remain open year-round.^[2][4]
