Chaughan

A public promenade - a grassy maidan less than one kilometer in length and about seventy five meters wide is a busy locak trading centre for villagers from the surrounding hills. Each year Chaughan is the site for the Minjar Procession. The fair lasts for a week and people attend the fair in the local costumes and colourful dresses in a gay mood walking in the Chaughan where a large number of sports and culture activities take place to commemorate this occasion. On the conclusion of fair the 'minjars' are immersed into the Ravi. It is also an established base for various exciting treks into the valley around.
