Panjal Mastan (Urdu پنجال مستان) is a picturesque location in the Bagh Valley of Azad Kashmir.
The Panjal Mastan National Park, located in the Bagh District,[1] sits at an average elevation of 2,800 metres (9,200 ft) above sea level, making it one of the highest plateaus in the region.
Covering an area of 300 square kilometres, the park is renowned for its diverse flora and fauna, part of the Pir Panjal ecoregion.
Located in the western part of the outer Pir Panjal range, its high altitude results in cold, snowy winters and relatively cool summers with significantly more rainfall compared to lower elevations.
Panjal Mastan is home to a variety of rare species, including leopards from the nearby Galiyat region.
