ToliPeer, Azad Kashmir

Tolipir is the highest mountainous location and the most attractive point in the north-eastern area of Rawalakot. Tolipir offers outback time on wide spread grassy fields and aspiring views as it is the origin point of three different mountainous ridges. There are some old remains of a Mazaar at the highest top of Tolipir. Weather is pleasant. Best to visit the location is from April to September otherwise too cold from October to March. Natural beauty is at its peak in April & May. no doubt, it is the best place in Pakistan for those who love nature.
A lush green grazing field on the peak of a mountain that steals your heart with its attractiveness and forces your tongue to articulate the lines: “If there is any paradise on the earth, here it lies”. It is just on an adventurous drive of 30 kilometres from Rawalakot, on the top of Ali Sojal, and is commonly known as Toli Peer.Toli Peer blooms with full beauty in summer with its pleasant weather and even in June, July the visitors are advised to take warm clothing with them. In winter, it is covered with snow and it becomes difficult for the tourists to reach there.
.
Amazingly, there are only a few trees at the visiting area of Toli Peer but a lush green grass so covers its surface that it looks to be a carpeted turf. Soft green mat of the grass compels the tourists to stroll around barefooted, giving a romantic pleasure.
Unfortunately, this wonderful place is deprived of the basic facilities due to lack of concern from the authorities. Just four years back, the first-ever concrete road was constructed for the site, which still is not a very safe path to travel.
