Kutton Waterfall
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.

Where the Jagran Valley Meets the Neelum Road

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.
Planning tip
When to go, June to September for the fullest flow; the surrounding pine forest is pleasant in any warm month.
