History
During the First Kashmir War in 1947–1948, a wing of the combined Gilgit Scouts and renegade 6th Infantry of the Jammu and Kashmir State Forces, called the 'Tiger Force', took control of Minimarg. They reached as far south as Bandipora in April 1948, but withdrew to Minimarg after the Indian Army's Operation Eraze.[2][3]

Climate
July is warm with an average temperature of 19.8 °C. January is cold with an average temperature of -17.3 °C.

A major source of income for people is the sale of natural herbs and potatoes.
