Neelum District, Administrative district in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan

The Neelum District spans 3,621 square kilometers of mountain terrain with elevations ranging between 4,000 and 7,500 feet in northern Pakistan.

The district, formerly known as Kishanganga, separated from Muzaffarabad District in 2005 and experienced substantial damage during that year's Kashmir earthquake.

The population of 191,000 residents speaks multiple languages including Urdu, Hindko, and Kashmiri while maintaining traditional agricultural practices and festivals.

The district contains two administrative divisions, Athmuqam and Sharda, with Athmuqam functioning as the primary governmental center for the region.

The Neelum River flows through the district before merging with the Jhelum River at Muzaffarabad, creating valleys suitable for agriculture and settlements.
