Mughal road

is a link-road of 84 km long between Buflaiz and the Shopian district. This road starts from Buflaiz, a town in the Poonch district, and ends in Shopian. This road passes through the mountain ranges of Pir Panjal. It is situated at an altitude of 11,500 meters. This road provided a way to Lahore in ancient times from where the Mughal rulers used to travel.

Nowadays this road joins the Poonch and Rajouri with the summer capital Srinagar. The project for the making of the new road was actually proposed in the 1950s but unfortunately, it always got delayed, and then in 1979, Sheikh Abdullah decided to take up this project. The actual construction got started in 2005 which took almost 3 years to get completed and then finally this road was opened to the public in 2010.

A special event is held here annually which is of the car rally, in which hundreds participate every year.
