Diamer District, Administrative district in Gilgit Division, Pakistan

The Diamer District extends across 10,936 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with the Karakoram Highway passing through its central region.

The district came under British colonial administration in 1893, leading to the establishment of an administrative agency and the appointment of a Political Agent.

The Thalpan archaeological site near Chilas contains thousands of rock carvings depicting Buddhist stupas and figures from the Greco-Buddhist period.

Visitors need to arrange transportation along the Karakoram Highway, which connects the district to major cities like Islamabad and the Chinese border.

The district holds the distinction of being the only Sunni-majority region within the Gilgit-Baltistan territory of Pakistan.
