The river Jhelum is called Vitastā in the Rigveda and Hydaspes by the ancient Greeks. The Vitasta (Sanskrit: वितस्ता, fem., also, Vetastā) is mentioned as one of the major rivers by the holy scriptures of the Indo-Aryans — the Rigveda. It has been speculated that the Vitastā must have been one of the seven rivers (sapta-sindhu) mentioned so many times in the Rigveda. The name survives in the Kashmiri name for this river as Vyeth. According to the major religious work Srimad Bhagavatam, the Vitastā is one of the many transcendental rivers flowing through the land of Bharata, or ancient India.
The river was regarded as a god by the ancient Greeks, as were most mountains and streams; the poet Nonnus in the Dionysiaca (section 26, line 350) makes the Hydaspes a titan-descended god, the son of the sea-god Thaumas and the cloud-goddess Elektra. He was the brother of Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, and half-brother to the Harpies, the snatching winds. Since the river is in a country foreign to the ancient Greeks, it is not clear whether they named the river after the god, or whether the god Hydaspes was named after the river. Alexander the Great and his army crossed the Jhelum in BC 326 at the Battle of the Hydaspes River where he defeated the Indian king, Porus. According to Arrian (Anabasis, 29), he built a city "on the spot whence he started to cross the river Hydaspes", which he named Bukephala (or Bucephala) to honour his famous horse Bukephalus or Bucephalus which was buried in Jalalpur Sharif. It is thought that ancient Bukephala was near the site of modern Jhelum City. According to a historian of Gujrat district, Mansoor Behzad Butt, Bukephalus was buried in Jalalpur Sharif, but the people of Mandi Bahauddin, a district close to Jehlum, believed that their tehsil Phalia was named after Bucephalus, Alexander's dead horse. They say that the name Phalia was the distortion of the word Bucephala. The waters of the Jhelum are allocated to Pakistan under the terms of the Indus Waters Treaty.
The river Jhelum rises from a spring at Verinag situated at the foot of the Pir Panjal in the south-eastern part of the valley of Kashmir in India. It flows through Srinagar and the Wular lake before entering Pakistan through a deep narrow gorge. The Kishenganga (Neelum) River, the largest tributary of the Jhelum, joins it, at Domel Muzaffarabad, as does the next largest, the Kunhar River of the Kaghan valley. It also connects with Pakistan and Pakistan-held Kashmir on Kohala Bridge east of Circle Bakote. It is then joined by the Poonch river, and flows into the Mangla Dam reservoir in the district of Mirpur. The Jhelum enters the Punjab in the Jhelum District. From there, it flows through the plains of Pakistan's Punjab, forming the boundary between the Chaj and Sindh Sagar Doabs. It ends in a confluence with the Chenab at Trimmu in District Jhang. The Chenab merges with the Sutlej to form the Panjnad River which joins the Indus River at Mithankot.

Till Jogian or Hill of the Saints, Jehlum Pakistan
Tilla Jogian is the highest peak in the Salt Range. Tradition holds that Tilla Jogian was in use of Jogis since 100 B.C. This is where the Kanpatha Jogis, who pierced their earlobes, founded by Guru Gorakhnath built a monastery in 1st century BC.
Tilla Jogian also finds mention in the epic love poem Heer Ranjha of Waris Shah, where Ranjha spent his time here for consolation and got his ears ringed as was the tradition of Guru Goraknath's followers.
For the Hindu and Sikh Tilla Jogian has religious significance as Guru Nanak spent 40 days in quiet seclusion here.
The great explorer and adventurer Salam Rashid was here and he laments and laments but no one is listening:
Earthquake survivors cross a damaged brige over the Jehlum River as they evacuate from remote villages devastated by an earthquake. A massive earthquake that struck northeastern Pakistan left more than 86,000 people killed, 100,000 injured, and millions homeless. The lack of winterized tents and shelters, food and sanitation, heavy lifting equipment, and helicopters for reaching survivors in remote regions increased the death toll. Survivors were in dire need of winterized tents and blankets. --- 21 Oct 2005, Sirran, Pakistan ---

The Khanqah mosque, known as the Shah
Hamdan Masjid, sits on the right bank of the river
Jhelum between the third and fourth bridges. It
was built in 1395 by Shah Sikandar to
commemorate the visit of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamdani,
better known as Shah Hamdan.
Sher Shah Suri named Qila Rohtas after the famous Rohtasgarh Fort in Shahabad district near Baharkunda, Bihar which he captured from the Raja of Rohtas Hari Krishan Rai in 1539. Rohtasgarh is situated on the upper course of the river Son, 20 37’ N and 85 33’E. It was built by Harish Chandra of the Solar dynasty and was named after his son Rohitasva after whom the fort (Rohtasgarh) was named.
The Fort is an exceptional example of Muslim military architecture in Central and South Asia, blending architectural and artistic traditions from Turkey and the Indian sub-continent to create the model for Mughal architecture.
Qila Rohtas is situated in a gorge approximately 16 km NW of Jhelum and 7 km from Dina. It was constructed on a hillock where the tiny Kahan river meets another rainy stream called Parnal Khas and turns east towards Tilla Jogian Range. The fort is about 300 feet above its surroundings. It is 2660 feet (818 meters) above sea level and covers an area of 12.63 acres.
From Islamabad: The dual-carriage Grand Trunk Road takes you past Gujar Khan and Sohawa, to the small town of Dina 130 km away. Just past Dina you will drive over a railway overpass, stay to the right of the road and take the first U-turn to drive back towards Dina. After about 100 meters to your left you will find a signpost, which indicates the way towards the road leading to Rohtas Fort which is 8 km away, past the small village of Muftian. Drive on the road to enter into the fort and keep driving till you reach the parking area.
From Lahore: Drive on G.T road past Gujranwala, Wazirabad and the city of Jhelum. About 10 minutes drive beyond the Jhelum bridge just short of the city of Dina, you will find a signpost to the left directing you to Rohtas Fort.
Earthquake survivors use a cable lift as they cross the river Jehlum to receive relief goods in Pakistani administered Kashmir. Pakistani and International rescue and relief workers were engaged in relief and rescue operations in the affected mountain regions where a massive earthquake killed more than 51,300 people and displaced hundreds of thousands who were living without shelter in freezing temperatures. --- 25 Oct 2005, Hattian Bala, Pakistan ---
