Rey Khas

Rey or Rey Khas is a small village in Kangra district at borders of Himachal Pradesh, India along a rivulet to which Talwara & Hazipur are the nearer towns in plains of Punjab while Indora & Fatehpur Tehsil H.Q in Himachal are farther in the hills.

One can reach Rey Khas by train up to Mukerian (MEX) or Pathankot (PTX).

Rey was famous in history as harbour over Beas River and was designated as shikargah or (imperial hunting grounds) in mughal maps especially for Nilgai game.

Bairam Khan is reputed to have taken refuge there with his army at 'Bairun the ban' after defeat at Battle of Gunecur and finally surrendered to Mughals at Hajipur (20 km from Rey Khas) in 1560.

[2] Rey Shikargah has survived as Pong Dam Lake Wildlife Sanctuary and the Beas Conservation Reserve begins at Harike and extends to its endpoint further along the river upto this area.
