A wide weir on the Jagran River near Kundal Shahi, a popular photo stop where the pine-forested Jagran Valley meets the Neelum road.
Kutton Waterfall is a broad weir on the Jagran River, a Neelum tributary, right where the pine-forested Jagran Valley meets the main road near Kundal Shahi. It's less a wild cascade than a wide, photogenic drop over a low dam, but the setting, forested hills, wooden houses, and a footbridge over the churn, makes it one of the valley's most popular stops.
Why go
The Jagran Valley is a short side-detour known for pine forest, meadows, and its own smaller waterfalls; Kutton sits right at its mouth, making it an easy stop even for travellers not continuing up the side valley.
Pairs naturally with Kundal Shahi and the Jagran Valley as a single stop, use Plan a trip to decide how much time to give the side valley versus continuing to Keran.
