Kazbekovsky District, Municipal district in Dagestan, Russia.
Kazbekovsky District is a municipal district in Dagestan spread across forested foothills with elevations ranging from 500 to 1900 meters. It comprises fifteen rural settlements and one urban center, Dylym, which serves as the administrative hub.
The district was established as an administrative entity in 1928 and remained part of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic until 1991. This institutional framework shaped its development throughout the Soviet period.
Several ethnic groups live across the settlements, each maintaining their own languages and traditions in daily life. This cultural mix shapes how communities in the district interact and celebrate together.
Dylym serves as the main hub for administrative services and information about the area. The hilly to mountainous terrain means roads vary in condition, so visitors should prepare for different elevations and driving conditions when exploring settlements.
The Aktash River flows through the district from southeast to northwest, carving out the mountainous landscape. This natural waterway is vital to local farming and the region's ecological balance.
