Kallar Kahar (Urdu: كلّر كہار) is a town of Chakwal District in Punjab, Pakistan. It is the capital of Kallar Kahar Tehsil which is an administrative subdivion of the district.[1]

Emperor Babar described Kallar Kahar in his memoirs as a “child of Kashmir” due to its natural beauty and charming weather. It was a natural sanctuary of peacocks, but their population has decreased due to the increasing population around the mountain and illegal catching of the beautiful birds. Babar also referred to Takht-e-Babri, as a "charming place with good air".[2]
