Himalayas basin at the North Western elevation has vast plain lands called the Potohar plateau. Nature has bestowed upon this Plateau four seasons. And a focal point in this plateau of Pohohar is a scenic village, half surrounded by a River known as Soan. The western side is mountainous and there are beautiful fresh water springs and reserve of trees. This village has tha unique distinction of contrasts such as River, mountains and springs and clear crystal water streams. At an altitude of 1700 above sea level this village is called Morgah.

The word “Morgah” in the local lingua franca means an area or land of peacocks. The legend has it that during the last century this area was habited by throngs of peacocks among other variety of Wild Life. Visitors to this Village would be overwhelmed by its beauty and scenic location and many would prefer to set up a home in the warmth of its lap as the people of the Village were hospitable, kind and peace loving.

The British arrived here as rulers and found this Village as a rock of bastion for their freshly introduced power where they set up an Ordnance Depot in this Village, followed by an oil Refinery and two Army Camping grounds. As well as picnic spots by the River for fishing. Adventurers would sift for gold from the River which was filled with a rich rock slush trickling down from the mountainous North, the Hindu Kush.

Pakistan has nearly 125000 Villages and there are more than a million in India and Bangladesh. Somehow this is the most well known Village of South Asia.

The Acid test of its popularity is, if you just write Morgah - Pakistan and the letter would arrive at its coveted destination. (www.morgah.com)
