Karela Majhan

Karela Majhan is a union council in Tehsil Fatehpur, Kotli District, Azad Kashmir, comprising the two villages Karelal and Majhan. It located 10 kilometres from the city of Nakyal and offers views along the Poonch River as well as of the snow-capped Pir Panjal mountain range as a backdrop.[1]

Majhan is on the lower section and is characterised by the river that runs through it. The availability of water makes rice a popular crop. Karela is on the higher, hillier region and is best remember for being the home of Fatehpur's namesake Sardar Fateh Khan and his son, the two-time prime minister Sardar Sikander Hayat.
