Tilla, 1908

An eastward continuation of the Salt Range in Jhelum Dis- trict, Punjab, 3,242 feet above the sea. From the Bunha torrent the range rises rapidly to the culminating peak of Jogi Tilla and thence sinks as rapidly, but a series of low parallel ridges runs out across the valley of the Kahan. The hill is sometimes used as a summer resort by officers of Jhelum District. A famous monastery of Jogi fakirs is situated here.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
