Jhelum

A surprise to discover history carrying on and on about famous horse that dies at Jhelum and gave the town its name. The horse of Alexander The Great.

 

Jhelum district lies on the route that was taken by all conquerors and invaders coming from the north. Journeying back and forth through history, there are interesting tales the District has to tell from Alexander era, to Mughal period and British Raj. There is a history woven around Fort Rohtas and Till Balanath (Tilla Jogi) and how important was Jehlum on the Railway Map.

 

The River Jhelum in its path takes the form of a stream and act as lovely camping sites for campers and trekkers. You must visit these places to feel the real essence of the areas.

 

Taken: Near Famous Mosque Afghanan at the edge of River Jehlum.

 

NOTE: One of my friend from Jehlum corrected me like this over the chat...

 

Usman Ahmad: sorry of correction jehlum is not named after any hosre. its combination of two words jal mean water and hum means himalayas. means water from himalayas.
