Mughal Road is the road between Bafliaz, a town in the Poonch district, to Shopian district in the Kashmir valley. The road is 84km long, and situated in the Jammu and Kashmir (UT of India). It passes over Pir Panjal Mountain range, at altitude of 11,500 ft (3505 m), that is higher than Banihal pass (2832 m).The road brings the Poonch and Rajouri districts closer to Srinagar in Kashmir valley, and reduces the distance between Srinagar and Poonch from 588km to 126km. It makes for alternate road route to Kashmir valley from rest of India, other than over-crowded Jammu-Srinagar Highway through Jawahar Tunnel (Banihal Tunnel) (National Highway 1A) The road passes through Buffliaz, Behramgalla, Chandimarh,Poshana, Chattapani, Peer Ki Gali, Aliabad, Zaznar, Dubjan, Heerpora and Shopian.The road was historically used by Moghul emperors to travel and conquer Kashmir during the sixteenth century. It was the route used by Akbar the Great to conquer Kashmir in 1586, and his son Emperor Jahangir died while returning from Kashmir on this road near Rajouri. PEER KI GALI Peer ki Gali is a religious spot named. Peer ki gali got its name because of a converted Hindu saint (Seikh Ahmed Karim). Bernier Francios a most famous Francis visitor who happened to pass this place along with caravan of Mughal emperor Auranzab while going to Kashmir from Lahore in 1665 writes that this saint was living here from the time of king Jhanjir. This saint could perform miracles by producing horrible voices. He could also bring storms along with hail stones and snow. He was an old white bearded man who ordered the people not to create noise in this calm place of God and also demand offerings from them. It seems that peer used to tell that Mughal king Auranzab and Shah jahan were wise enough as they passed this calm place of God very calmly unlike Jahangir. As a result, Jahangir faced dangerous results during his time of rule. ALIABAD SARAI. Few kilometers away from Peer ki gali there situated another Mughal fort named as Aliabad sarai. This fort was constructed by Mughal king Shah Jahan. It's beautiful example of art created by artists of Mughal empire. As per the written records Ali Mardan Khan was a Mughal constructer and he had constructed all the forts and routes along Mughal road. There are some interesting stories around a secret routes created around Aliabad Sarai. Daubjai Most of these green meadows around Mughal Road are full of cattle grazing and enjoying sunshine.
