Toli Pir is a hill station about 30 kilometres from Rawalakot in Azad Kashmir, reached by a winding mountain road that takes around 45 minutes. At roughly 3,000 metres, the summit sits above the treeline and offers sweeping views across the Kashmir valleys — on a clear day you can see range after range fading into the distance toward the Line of Control and Indian-administered Kashmir beyond.
The attraction is the panorama and the alpine meadows near the top. In summer, the grassy slopes are dotted with wildflowers and the temperature is a welcome 15–20 degrees cooler than the plains below. Domestic tourists from Punjab and Islamabad come up for picnics, and on weekends the road can get busy. In winter, snow covers the summit and the road may be impassable.
There is a shrine at the top dedicated to a Sufi saint, which draws pilgrims as well as sightseers. A few basic food stalls near the summit sell tea, corn, and pakoras, but bring your own supplies if you want anything more substantial. The drive up from Rawalakot is scenic in its own right, passing through pine forest and small villages, and is best done in the morning before clouds roll in and obscure the views.
Banjosa Lake, 18 kilometres from Rawalakot through pine forest, makes a natural second stop on a day trip from the valley. The Poonch River Valley below town has its own quiet appeal for those with an extra afternoon.
