Pir Chinasi is a shrine and tourist destination located 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Muzaffarabad city on the top of hills at an elevation of 2,900 meters (9,500 ft).

Unlike traditional dome-shaped tomb structures, Pir Chinasi’s turquoise tomb has three inverted circular discs.

One spiralling out of another and each succeeding disc, from the top, gets shorter in width and all rest majestically on a trapezoid.

The mountain peak has gained large fame for its ziyarat of a famous Saint Pir Chinasi Known as Pir Sayed Hussain shah Bukhari.

The Shrine was built in 1953.

A shepherd used to bring his cattle at the peak for grazing and once, at the spot, where tomb had been constructed, his uptight buffaloes refused to budge an inch despite his cajoling and coaxing.

A day passed, then a week and a month. Then, one night in a dream, a holy man instructed him to raise a shrine at the same place where his buffaloes sat still.

Maybe, it’s the spot where the saint had meditated around four hundred centuries back.

Vibrancy and tranquility coexists on the peak of Pir Chinasi.

This place is also visited by tourists who can get a great view of Muzaffarabad and rural areas around the hidden city.
