Agulsky District

Agulsky District is a municipal administrative region in southern Dagestan consisting of scattered rural settlements. The communities are connected through a network of roads that links these localities with Tpig, the administrative center.

The district was established as an administrative unit in 1934 within the Soviet structure of Dagestan. Following the collapse of the USSR, it continued to function as a municipal administrative division.

The district is named after its position in the southern mountain region of Dagestan. Life here centers on village communities where traditional farming practices and crafts remain part of the daily routine.

The region is mountainous and road conditions can vary depending on the season. Planning a visit requires checking local road conditions in advance, as weather and terrain significantly affect accessibility.

The entire population lives in rural villages without any urban center, making it one of the few purely rural administrative areas in the wider region. This completely decentralized settlement pattern sets it apart from other similar administrative areas nearby.
