The Aliabad Sarai is a historical rest house in the Pir Panjal Pass, said to have been constructed by the Emperor Jahangir towards the end of the 16th century.
It was one of the 14 halting stations constructed between Lahore and Srinagar along the Moghal Road.
An Iranian engineer called Ali Mardan Khan was in charge of the construction, aided by the local chieftains.
The safe keeping of the heritage building has been neglected by the government, and it has been used in recent times by local shepherds as a shed for cattle.

The original Moghal Road passed in front of the Aliabad Sarai rest house.
The current one runs behind it, at a higher elevation.
