Kotla (Urdu: وادی کوٹلہ) is a village and tourist resort in Bagh District, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

Kotla is also home to some of the rarest forests in the region containing Pine Abies pindrow trees that are hundreds of years old.

Due to lack of knowledge/interest, these forests are now endangered to become extinct as locals continue deforestation by cutting down trees yet local/state governments seem to have no interest in saving them.

[citation needed] The village is situated on the confluence of two mini nullahs, Jaber Nala and Mangimar, which flow all the year round.

Kotla is 18 km from the city of Bagh and is located in a valley surrounded by large mountains on three sides.

The waterfall drops about 150 metres (490 feet) from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Kotla River.

The force of the stream above the fall at such times is sufficient to carry the water clear of the precipice, and the whole mass descends in a condition of liquid dust, between spray and cloud, that sways to and fro with the gentlest breeze.

Danna is most accessible during the summer months; the weather is generally pleasant but becomes colder from October through March.
