Visit to the Neelem Valley

Our team headed by the Executive Director (ED) Ms. Sonia Saleem headed towards Neelem Valley of Azad Kashmir. The way to Kashmir was really adventures and our sense of adventure was tested when we were just about to reach Kohala Bridge, the driver of a crossing to Islamabad vehicle gave us a news that the road from Kohala to Muzzafarabad has been blocked. However, the news did not inspire us to abandon from our willingness to reach Kashmir (although he managed to convince his passengers though). Just after Kohala Bridge we were asked to use alternative route to cross the river again. For some reasons some of our staff members to cross the loose wooden bridge on foot, which is normal circumstances is considered quite dangerous, I salute their courage. After the bridge we traveled on a rough steep mountainous road towards Muzzafarabad and we traveled 9 kilometers to cover a distance of kilometers on Islamabad Kahsmir highway.     We stopped for a lunch at Neelem Valley view Hotel hos
