Astore Valley

The Astore Valley (Urdu: وادی استور; el. 2,600 m (8,500 ft)) is a valley located in the Astore District of Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan.

Astore was conquered by Ali Sher Khan Anchan, (ruled 1595–1633), the Maqpon ruler of Skardu. He gave it to Shah Sultan, his grandson. Shah Sultan became progenitor of the line of Astore rulers, who maintained their internal independence until 1842, when it annexed by Sikh Empire. In 1846, Astore became a part of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. After Gilgit Rebellion it became a part of Pakistan. It was granted district status in 2004.
