Mangla is located 10 km from Mirpur city at the mouth of the Mangla Dam. The construction of the Dam reservoir, which has a perimeter of 400 km, has turned it into a place of interest. Mangla also hosts the Mangla Power Station which is second largest in Pakistan.
Mangla is also the site of historic Mangla fort. The fort is situated on a high hill overlooking Jhelum river dividing Mirpur and Jhelum districts. Most of the fort was razed during the construction of Mangla dam, a part remained and served as a public recreation place. It is now closed to general public due to Mangla dam upraising project.
