The point where the Neelum River joins the Jhelum is the geographical heart of Muzaffarabad. The two rivers run at different speeds and carry different colors — the Neelum a vivid blue-green, the Jhelum more turbid and grey-brown — and the line between them is clearly visible where they meet.
There are viewpoints from the riverbanks and from the hilltop near the Red Fort. This confluence has been a strategic and culturally significant spot for centuries, which is why the fort was built here in the first place. It is one of those places that is more dramatic than any description suggests.
