Origin and route

The river originates from the upper Kaghan Valley's Dharamsar Lake, near Babusar Pass. The waters of Dudipat and Saiful Muluk Lakes feed the river, besides glacial waters from Malka Parbat and other high peaks in the valley.^{[citation needed]} River Kunhar flows through the entire Kaghan valley and enters into Nainsukh Valley from Balakot comprising Garhi Habibullah and Dalola.^{[citation needed]} It joins the Jhelum River at Rarah about 10 km downstream from Muzaffarabad, in the Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.
