Location:
The Neelam River was known before Partition as Kishan Ganga and was subsequently renamed after the village of Neelam. It flows down from the Gurez Valley in Indian Jammu and Kashmir and roughly follows first a western and then a south-western course until it joins the Jhelum River at Muzaffarabad. The valley is a thickly wooded[citation needed] region with an elevation ranging between 4,000 feet (1,200 m) and 7,500 feet (2,300 m), the mountain peaks on either side reaching 17,000 feet (5,200 m).Neelum Valley is 144 kilometres (89 mi) long.
Administration:
Neelam District was part of Muzaffarabad District until 2005. It is made up of two tehsils: Athmuqam, which contains the district headquarters, and Sharda. Neelam District is the largest district of Azad Kashmir by area. The valley extends for approximately 200 kilometers along the Neelam River. This is a generally poor region, reliant on subsistence agriculture and handicrafts, with tourism growing in importance in recent years.
