Chattroo is a small village on the bank of a river, Mariv Sudir. The place is located in between the two hills. It is a steep valley which opens from three sides. One way goes to Chingam one goes to Kishtwar and one goes to Passerkoot. This route is very famous right from the beginning. The way was the old and main route for the people of the entire region to enter Kashmir Valley. In the olden times the small mobile traders used to come to the Kishtwar region from Kashmir through this route. This is a hilly track which goes up and down in to purely Himalayan tertian. The people also relied on this route for selling their agriculture products and animals. On this track a famous village named Passerkoot comes, the village is famous for its natural resources like Apple,wallnut, Rajmash and Guchhi.
From Chhatroo route one of the famous routes is connected to Kashmir is known as Sintantop route this route also good traveling of transport and now recently Govt. of India and State Govt of J&K start project of Viloo Tunnel (about 5 km long) to reduce the distance of about 60 km from Kashmir to Kishtwar. Presently the distance from LalChowk Kashmir to Kishtwar is only 202 km, so after completion of this tunnel the distance is just near about 140 km. The spot of Sinthantop is very good for tourist and one of the famous spot is AlloForm. One the best spot is Fammer by foot traveling near about 10 km from Sintantop the famous dish is there is trout fish. The enjoy is then that when you visit on that spots.
Chhatroo is the Tehsil headquarter of Chhatroo Tehsil situated on the right bank of Chhatroo Nalla. It is at a distance of 30 kms from Kishtwar and ten kilometers ahead of Mughal Maidan on Kishtwar-Synthan Top-Annant Nag Road. The zig zag road passes along the banks of Chhatroo Nalla with high rising mountains and dense forests on either side of the Nalla. The journey is exhilarating and refreshing.
The present tehsil Chhatroo comprising Chingam, Sing pour, Chhatroo, Drubeel, Kuhhal, Inderwal, Sigdi, Mulchetar, Rahaltal, Horna and Udil Gogran revenue villages was called Rajmandel in ancient Times. It is situated on the South-Easteren extremity of Kashmir and on the North-Western extremity of Kishtwar. Margen Pass also known as Singpur Pass in 3670 meters above sea level. Chhatroo is situated between altitude 33 30 and longtitude75 31. It links Singpur with Gadol in Kashmir valley, another pass linking Chingam with Dakshum village of Kashmir is called Synthan pass which is 3784 meters above sea level. Pogal Paristan in Banihal tehsil of Ramban district is linked through Sambole village of Chhatroo tehsil by Nandmarg pass situated at a height of 4110 meters above sea level. Marwah valley is also linked with Chingam via Bonda but the route is all along very tough and no footpath has emerged for pedestrians. Chhatroo Nalla which rises from Bonda Mountains and joined by other Nalas coming from Khawara and Singpur side divides the valley into two with the population on either side. This stream called Chhatroo River joins Marud Vridha or Mariv Sudir near Dadpeath village which is the gateway to Chhatroo. The whole area from Chhatroo to Singpur top was once covered with dense forests infested ferocious animals. The route to Kashmir valley passed through these forests which was not only hazardous but also unsafe. So there is no easy way to develop relations with the people of Kashmir valley..
The establishment of a degree college, a Higher Secondary School, Kasturuba School, I.T.I, Girl’s Hostel etc. here in this remote area shows the will of the Government to bring the rural areas at par with the urban one as far as the provision of educational facilities is concerned. Offices of various Govt. Departments and a market add grandeur to this place. Here from the main road goes to Synthen while another road leads to Passerkoot where a 4.5 km long tunnel is proposed to be constructed between Singhpora and Vialu road and an alternative to the National Highway between Batote-Jawahar Tunnel- Anantnag.
