Neelum Valley Road is a spectacular and dangerous high mountain road going through the Neelam Valley (also spelled Neelum Valley) at North and North-East of Muzaffarabad, this route is not suitable for normal cars as the roads are very bumpy and dusty. Most people preferred to travel in jeeps on this route. About 240 kilometers long, the picturesque Neelum Valley is situated to the North & North East of Muzaffarabad. A fair-weather road opens the valley to tourists up to Kel, 165 kilometers from Muzaffarabad.
