Trips – MUZAFFARABAD & PIRCHANSI 1 Night / 2 Day Trip on Eid Holidays
Deadline for registration : Monday 15 June
Red fort:
Muzaffarabad Fort, generally known as Red Fort is a witness to the ancient history of this great city. It is said that construction of Fort was initially taken up by Chuk rulers to counter the offensives of the intruders. However, Sultan Muzaffar Khan, the founder of Muzaffarabad town finally completed it in 1646. During the Mughal rule in Kashmir, this fort lost its importance, as they were more interested in other parts of their empire. But when Durrani’s took over the rule of this area, it again came in to the lime light .Afterwards after the Dogra rule of Maharaja Gulab Singh and Maharaja Ranbir Singh, the fort was reconstructed and extended according to their political and military requirements. However towards the end of 1947, the Dogra’s fled away leaving the fort wide open to anybody. Since then it has braved devastating floods, ravages of time, and other hazards to project its inherent glory and historical background.
Barsala
The historical tourist lodge Barsalla is located at a distance of 100 kilometer from Islamabad and 40 kilometers from Muree. On the way to Muzaffarabad it is only 3 kilometers from Kohala Bridge that is the entry point in AJK. This Lodge was first built in Dogra rule but its historical importance is due to the founder of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah who stayed here in 1944 when he was returning from Srinagar. The particular chair, on which Quaid sat, is still present in this lodge. The Dogra rulers used to stay here while traveling between Rawalpindi and Srinagar. AJK Tourism Department has repaired it after it was hit by the 2005 earth quake and now it has seven rooms for tourists .This historical resort is also known as Quaid-e-Azam Memorial Rest House.
Pir Chinasi:
At an altitude of 2924 meters above the sea level Pir Chinasi is located 32 Kilometer, eastward of Muzaffarabad. Due to its tremendous scenic beauty, velvet green plateaus and wonderful climate, it is a special place for nature lovers. This is also the place for pilgrimage for devotees of Saint Shah Hussain Bukhari.
