Mirpur District

Mirpur is an administrative district in Azad Kashmir with boundaries adjacent to several neighboring districts. The area is organized into two main administrative sections that manage the local communities and infrastructure.

This district was part of Jammu Province during the British colonial period when it functioned as one administrative unit. The area has evolved significantly since independence, reshaping its local governance and boundaries.

The district population primarily communicates in Pahari-Pothwari language, with Gujari spoken by approximately ten percent of inhabitants.

The best time to visit is during mild weather when roads are accessible and conditions are favorable for travel. Keep in mind that the terrain is varied, and using local transport or a guide helps visitors navigate different areas effectively.

The district maintains strong ties with British Pakistani communities, as many residents emigrated to the United Kingdom during the 1960s and 1970s. This migration wave created lasting connections that continue to influence the area today.
