Geographically Mansehra lies directly to the north, but the hilly terrain results in these winding roads, hence Baldheri is en route to Mansehra from Abbottabad city.

Geography

Like much of the Abbottabad area, the terrain and layout of land make Baldheri a very beautiful place, with fresh water streams running down from the hills and mountains. The main stream is called Mangal, and its water is very important for the cultivation of the area. There are primary schools almost in every village. Bach Christian Hospital is also located in Baldheri UC, this hospital was very important during the 2005 Pakistan earthquake that struck the area, due to its location on the Karakoram Highway.
