Thanamandi Sarai


The Mughals used to stay here during their journey from Delhi to Kashmir and vice versa.Thanamandi is significant because a severe conflict took place here between Zial-ul-Aabdeen and his brother Sultan Ali Shah of Kashmir. The fate of Kashmir was decided when Shahi Khan defeated his brother Sultan Ali Shah in a war at Thanamandi and was ascended to throne of Kashmir in 1420 A.D under the title of “Sultan Zain-ul-Aabdeen-Badshah”. This is an important historical place right from the time of Mughals, who used to stay there during their journey from Delhi to Kashmir and vice-versa. An old Mughal Sarai still exists there which speaks of its glorious time. The climate of this place is very charming and in fact is a health resort. It is also famous for its artistic wooden products.
