About Peer ki Gali

Let’s begin by knowing about Peer ki Gali. The name “Peer ki Gali” means “The Saint’s Pass.” It is named after a Sufi saint, Sheikh Ahmed Karim, who is believed to have meditated in this area. Because of this, the place is not only beautiful but also has spiritual value. A small shrine built in his memory still stands at the pass and attracts visitors and locals.

The pass is located at around 11,500 feet above sea level and offers beautiful views of the Pir Panjal mountain range. This is one of the highest points on the Mughal Road and remains covered in snow for many months of the year. When the snow melts, the area becomes green, and the fresh mountain breeze fills the air.
