Keran is a tehsil in Kupwara district, Jammu and Kashmir, India.It is on the bank of the Kishanganga River. The village lies on the Line of Control. The Keran block includes four panchayats: Keran, Mandian, Mandian-A and Kundian Pathroo.
The adjacent habitation on the Pakistani side across the boundary is also called Keran. The Kishanganga river (known by the name Neelum on the other side), flowing through the village, acts as the natural border between the two habitations. While both sides have the same predominant religion, social and cultural practices differ greatly. The people are not allowed by Indian and Pakistani officials to intermingle. Keran village is surrounded by dense forests. Shalabhatu, a village in the Keran sector, is divided between Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. It was among the foremost infiltration routes used in the early 1990s by militants. The village has three border posts: Khokhri, Kulari and Mangerta.
The village is said to have been established by Raja Karn in the tenth century.In 1990, the Indian army relocated the villagers due to frequent firing and shelling by the Pakistan Army. In 1992, a flood swept over the cultivated land. With the fresh cease-fire accords between the governments of both countries, the valley has witnessed peace across the border. With the opening of border tourism in 2012, Keran has become one of the favourite offbeat locations for tourists. The year 2023 has seen the highest footfall of tourists proceeding through Keran Valley.One of the reasons for this is the introduction of e-permissions for non-resident tourists.
