Mandi is a small village located about 20 km north-east of
Poonch, the administrative headquarters of
Poonch District.
The village is in a narrow valley, situated near the confluence of two streams namely the Gagri and the Pulsta. It is surrounded by the steep and grassy hills of no great elevation. People in this village speak Kashmiri.
