Nagar Valley[2] once a princely state, now stands as one of the ten districts within the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.[3][4][5] This valley is situated along the renowned Karakoram Highway, as one travels northward from the city of Gilgit. The valley is home to many high mountain peaks including Rakaposhi (7788m), Diran Peak (7265m), Golden Peak and Rush Peak.
The Nagar valley is administratively divided into two tehsils: Nagar-I and Nagar-II.[6] All the villages of upper Nagar including Shayar, Askurdas, Sumayar, Nagarkhas, Hoper Valley, and Hispar come under Nagar-I, whereas the villages of lower Nagar including Chalt Paeen, Chalt Bala, Sonikot, Akbarabad, Rabat, Bar, Buddalas, Chaprote, Sikandarabad, Jafarabad, Nilt, Thol, Ghulmet, Pisan, Minapin, Meacher, Dadhimal, Phekar, and Hakuchar are part of Nagar-II. Burushaski and Shina languages are predominantly spoken in the valley.[3]
The Rush Lake, the highest alpine lake of Pakistan and the 27th highest in the world, also lies in this valley.[7]
