MINIMARG | OPENED AFTER 75 YEARS FOR TOURISTS | THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VALLEY IN PAKISTAN |Season 3 Ep 3

During the First Kashmir War in 1947-1948, a wing of the combined Gilgit Scouts and renegade 6th Infantry of the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces, called the 'Tiger Force', took control of Minimarg.However, before that the area being an integral part of ‘Gurez valley’ was known as ‘Gurii’ with respect to Gurez valley and it was also known as ‘Nain’ Which means the junction place between Kashmir and Gilgit. Whereby traders used to stay here while travelling to Kashmir and Srinagar. Historically, till 1948, the region Minimarg had been an ancient trade route between Kashmir valley, Srinagar, and Northern Areas (Gilgit-Baltistan). Moreover, this was the only route through which students and traders used to get access to the Indian side for education and trade. As before 1960s, people of GB had no access to Punjab and other parts of Pakistan thus they greatly relied on this route.
