Dawarian. Situated 110km north of the AJK capital Muzaffarabad,  This mountain based area is excellent for adventure tourism and unique customs and way of living.

Dawarian's historical and archaeological assets include the Ruins of Old Buddha University in Sharda,, Sharda Fort and Kishan Ghaati near Sharda.

The earthquake of 8th Oct. 2005 brought destruction to this beautiful land. Being far from the capital Muzaffarabad and difficult to access, its people suffered heavily after earthquake for not getting the adequate relief.

KRDF with the help of its volunteers have set up two Vocational Training Centres in this area. One in Dawarian and the other one in Athmuqam. In both of these centres, women are learning skills to contribute in their families. KRDF also is providing teachers and monitors them on regular basis to ensure the smooth running of these most important centres.
