Samahni valley is a valley situated on the Line of Control that separates Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir from India-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. It is 35 km long and about 8 km in width and covers an area of 1270 km. By covered area, it is the largest valley in Kashmir.
Most of the inhabitants speak Pahari, with some Punjabi influence. Urdu is still spoken and understood among the villagers.
Some important locations in the valley include:
- Baghsar Fort - an ancient fort constructed by Mughal rulers
- Baghsar Lake
Samahni is a strategically important location as it is near the LOC. It is bordered by Rajouri district of India's Jammu and Kashmir.
