Astore

Astore is a division-level group in this website’s Gilgit-Baltistan directory. The Government of Gilgit-Baltistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan at a Glance 2025 uses the names Gilgit, Baltistan and Diamer-Astore in its division-labelled BISP table (printed page 18). This directory retains its existing Astore label; the publication uses the wider label Diamer-Astore. The names should not be treated as proof of identical current boundaries.

District references in this directory group

The following links reflect this website’s saved hierarchy. The population and area figures beside them are for the individually named source districts in the government publication’s district table (printed page 3), not a combined division population.

  • Astore — 111,573 people, Census 2023; reported source-district area 5,411 square kilometres.
  • Diamir — 337,329 people, Census 2023; reported source-district area 7,234 square kilometres.

Read these against the source year and its reporting units. A district’s later division or subdivision does not make this table a population count for each new area. No total has been assigned to this directory group by adding records with uncertain current boundaries.

Geographical reference points

These coordinates come from the OCHA/HDX 2022 boundary snapshot. They are map-reference positions for districts, not division headquarters or addresses. Open a district page to explore the listed tehsils, maps and related postal information.
