Mang, Azad Kashmir

Mang (also called Mong) is a village in Sudhanoti District, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan and has an elevation of 1,439 metres. Mang is situated nearby to the village Thorar.

Mang consists of 7 villages and 2 union councils: Mang and Patan Sher Khan.

Mong is well connected by roads to major cities of Kashmir and Pakistan. Mang is connected to Pallandri, Rawalakot, Thorar. Daily buses carry passengers inter-state as well as within the city. The nearest major airport is located at Rawalakot which isn't operational so nearest is Islamabad International Airport.

Mang is a stronghold of the Sudhan tribe, and served important roles as a fortress in the 1837 Poonch Revolt and as a base of operations in the 1947 Poonch Revolt.

In the 1837 Poonch Revolt, the Sudhans resisted Gulab Singh and Sikh forces from the fortress of Mong, where a deadly battle was fought until its capture by a prolonged assault.

Mang has several schools and a campus of the University of Poonch.
