This is essentially because this place offers them a captivating opportunity to capture the breathtaking beauty of Uri’s remote border region while enjoying a panoramic view of the Jhelum river.
This remarkable site, also known as the INDIA selfie point, not only showcases the natural splendour of this region, but also fosters a sense of nationalism among visitors, creating a unique and engaging environment.

Strategically positioned along National Highway-44, this structure provides a sweeping view of the picturesque Jhelum river, contributing to the local pride and enhancing the overall tourist experience.
