Tehsil Chatroo

Chatroo is a small village on the bank of a river, Mariv Sudir. The place is located in between the two hills. It is a steep valley which opens from three sides. One way goes to Chingam one goes to Kishtwar and one goes to Passerkoot. This route is very famous right from the beginning. The way was the old and main route for the people of the entire region to enter Kashmir Valley. In the olden times the small mobile traders used to come to the Kishtwar region from Kashmir through this route. This is a hilly track which goes up and down in to purely Himalayan tertian. The people also relied on this route for selling their agriculture products and animals. On this track a famous village named Passerkoot comes, the village is famous for its natural resources like Apple,wallnut, Rajmash and Guchhi.

Sinthan top Kishtwar

Chatroo is the Tehsil headquarter of Chatroo Tehsil situated on the right bank of Chatroo Nalla. It is at a distance of 30 kms from Kishtwar and ten kilometers ahead of Mughal Maidan on Kishtwar-Synthan Top-Annant Nag Road. The zig zag road passes along the banks of Chatroo Nalla with high rising mountains and dense forests on either side of the Nalla. The journey is exhilarating and refreshing.

The present tehsil Chatroo comprising Chingam, Sing pour, Chatroo, Drubeel, Kuhhal, Inderwal, Sigdi, Mulchetar, Rahaltal, Horna and Udil Gogran revenue villages was called Rajmandel in ancient Times. It is situated on the South-Easteren extremity of Kashmir and on the North-Western extremity of Kishtwar. Margen Pass also known as Singpur Pass in 3670 meters above sea level. Chatroo is situated between altitude 33 30 and longtitude75 31. It links Singpur with Gadol in Kashmir valley, another pass linking Chingam with Dakshum village of Kashmir is called Synthan pass which is 3784 meters above sea level. Pogal Paristan in Banihal tehsil of Ramban district is linked through Sambole village of Chhatroo tehsil by Nandmarg pass situated at a height of 4110 meters above sea level. Marwah valley is also linked with Chingam via Bonda but the route is all along very tough and no foot path has emerged for pedestrians. Chhatroo Nalla which rises from Bonda Mountains and joined by other Nalas coming from Khawara and Singpur side divides the valley into two with population on either side. This stream called Chatroo River joins Marud Vridha or Mariv Sudir near Dadpeath village which is the gateway to Chatroo. The whole area from Chatroo to Singpur top was once covered with dense forests infested ferocious animals. The route to Kashmir valley passed through these forests which was not only hazardous but also unsafe. So there is no easy way to develop relations with the people of Kashmir valley.

Establishment of a degree college, a Higher Secondary School, Kasturuba School, I.T.I, Girl’s Hostel etc. here in this remote area shows the will of the Government to bring the rural areas at par with the urban one as far as the provision of educational facilities is concerned. Offices of various Govt. Departments and a market add grandeur to this place. Here from the main road goes to Synthen while another road leads to Passerkoot where a 4.5 km long tunnel is proposed to be constructed between Singhpora and Vialu road and an alternative to the National Highway between Batote-Jawahar Tunnel- Anantnag.
