About
The historical town of Mong is situated in the Mandi Bahauddin District of Punjab and holds significant antiquity as some theories suggest its foundation upon Alexander the Great's ancient city Nicaea, established post-Battle at Hydaspes victory. Despite yet undiscovered ruins from this era, it carries a known historical association with Indo-Scythian king Maues or Raja Moga. Visitors may find Mong particularly appealing during the colder months of October through March when cooler temperatures create an inviting atmosphere for exploration and discovery within its ancient confines.
