Gilgit-Baltistan

About Gilgit-Baltistan

Gilgit-Baltistan is a high-mountain region in the north, associated with the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain systems. Its districts and valleys provide important context when distinguishing settlements whose names may be unfamiliar or repeated elsewhere.

Use the division and district links below to explore the published administrative records. Gilgit and Skardu are also represented by existing city postal directories. Those city directories are useful starting points, but they should not be treated as complete postal inventories for every district in the region.

The postal database uses the spelling Gilgit Baltistan while this directory uses Gilgit-Baltistan; both refer to the same regional label for matching purposes. Counts and parent links describe this website’s reference dataset. Where a map coordinate is supplied, it marks a reference point rather than a district or tehsil boundary.
