Ghizer District (2019–)

Ghizer District (Urdu: ضلع غیزر) is a district of Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan region in the disputed Kashmir region. It is one of the 14 districts of Gilgit-Baltistan. The former Ghizer District that existed from 1974 to 2019 spanned the entire upper Gilgit River Valley (also known as the Ghizer River Valley). In 2019, the former district was divided into the Gupis-Yasin District in the west and the present, smaller Ghizer District in the east.
