Baghsar:
Baghsar, 975 meters in elevation is an ideal tourist resort in the Samahni Valley. The Sar (lake) is nearly half kilometer long sheet of crystal-clear water that soothes the senses of a visitor after traveling 64 kilometers journey from Gujrat via Bhimber.
On the top of hill is a famous Mughal Fort overlooking the lake that adds grandeur to the whole area. This four story massive structure of granite is a feat of Mughal engineering that has stood the ravages of time. It has also played important role in the history during the times of Ahmad Shah Abdali, Ranjeet Sing and Gulab Sing. It is said that Emperor Jahangir on his way back from Kashmir fell ill and ultimately expired in this Fort.
