The Pir Panjal Range is one of the important mountain ranges of the Himalayas, and a major part of it lies in Jammu and Kashmir. It is generally regarded as one of the principal ranges of the Lesser Himalaya.

An important geographical fact is that the Pir Panjal Range separates the Jammu Region from the Kashmir Valley. Government physiographic descriptions also identify the Pir Panjal as the mountain range dividing the Jammu Region and the Kashmir Valley.

Pir Ki Gali is an important pass located in this range. It lies on the Mughal Road, which connects the Kashmir Valley with the Rajouri–Poonch region.

For examination purposes, remember the linked fact—Pir Panjal → Lesser Himalaya → Jammu & Kashmir → natural barrier between Jammu and Kashmir Valley.
