Sharda (Urdu: شاردہ/شاردا), also known as Shardi, is a small Tehsil in Neelam District in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

Known in particular for its library, it was associated with Buddhist scholars such as Kumārajīva, Thonmi Sambhota, Rinchen Zangpo, as well as Kalhana Pandit and Adi Shankara.

[1] Before 1947, a fair was held in Sharda every four years during the leap year (last being 1944) on Sharda Ashtami, the 8th day of the bright fortnight of Badhun (Bhadra in Hindu Panchang calendar), where Kashmiri Pandits would assemble for Shraad rituals and ashes of those who had died during the past 12 months were immersed in Kishenganga (Neelum) river.

Shardi and Nardi are the two mountain peaks overlooking the valley, named after the princesses of legend, Sharda and Narda.

[2] Over the right bank, opposite Sharda, the river Neelum is joined by the Surgan Nullah, along which a track leads to the Noori Nar Pass and through it to Kaghan Valley, where boating and jet skiing takes place.
