Ganga Peak: A Dangerous Road You May Want to Explore
Ganga Choti is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.785m (9,137ft) above the sea level, located in Bagh District, Azad Kashmir, in Pakistan. The road to the top is pretty steep.
Located in the Pir Panjal Range, in Jehlum valley, the road to the summit is a winding and narrow short strip of tarmac that becomes an unpaved mule track on the final part of the climb.

It is an attraction for tourists in that area.

Starting from Sudhan Galli, the road to the summit is 5.7 km (3.54 mile) long. Over this distance the elevation gain is 527 meters. The average gradient is 9.24%.
