My Home Town









Akhnoor Akhnoor is a beautiful town situated at a distance of 32 km from Jammu. The Chenab River meets the plain in Akhnoor, just north-west of Jammu. This was originally the route to Srinagar in the Mughal era. Jehangir, who died on the way to Kashmir, was temporarily buried at Chingas. Akhnoor is also related with the legend of Soni-Mahiwal. This is a historic town with the ruins of the Indus-valley civilization spread along the river Chenab. The whole area commands a panoramic view. A nice place to be in.
