Location [change]

Nambal is a mountainous area in the east of the district bordering Kashmir, where it has trade and tribal links. The Union Council takes its name from the main village of the area - i.e. Nambal.

There is also a famous village called Leeran, at the top of a mountain with a view of Azad Kashmir, Murree and Thandiani. Because of the mountains this small valley is very difficult to get to.

Climate [change]

The valley is full of Bhayar trees. As this village is on a mountain it receives 3–4 feet of snow during winter. Winters are extremely cold while summers are very pleasant.

Subdivisions [change]

The Union Council is divided into two areas Majuhan and Nambal[1] - as part of the local government reforms of 2000 Majuhan was merged into Nambal Union Council.
