Ghizer Valley
Ghizer Valley (Urdu: وادی غزر), also known as Koh-i-Ghizer (Urdu: کوہ غذر), is a mountainous valley located in the Gupis–Yasin District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It contains the Shandur Valley and the Phander Valley.
Ghizer Valley is located to the east of Chitral and to the north of Swat. It is separated from Chitral and Swat by high mountain passes. To access Ghizer Valley, one would typically take the Gilgit-Chitral road west from Gilgit and continue in a northwesterly direction, passing through Gupis. After Gupis, the journey continues northwestward to reach the Yasin Valley, and from there, travelers can proceed along the straight road that leads to Ghizer Valley.
The climate of Ghizer Valley is considered to be a local steppe climate. During the year, there is a rainfall which takes place during January to the end of March. This climate is considered to be BSK according to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification. The average annual temperature in Ghizer Valley is 19.6 °C. About 429 mm of precipitation falls annually.
Ghizer Valley is a big part of Tehsil Phander, which is a new Tehsil within the Ghizer District (now part of Gupis–Yasin District). It was previously a part of Tehsil Gupis. During the government of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a decision was made to establish Ghizer as a new Tehsil. However, under the government of the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) or PML (N), Ghizer was granted the full administrative powers of a Tehsil.
Phander, which encompasses Ghizer Valley, was originally under the rule of the Governor of Gupis, Raja Hussain Ali Khan Maqpoon. The Rajas of Gupis were known for their valor and had a history of fighting against the Sikhs and the Dogras. However, over time, this house lost its power and ownership of Koh-i-Ghizer during the era of the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR).
Ghizer Valley holds significant strategic importance due to its geographical location and the various mountain passes it offers. One such pass leads to Laspur Valley in Chitral via Shandur Top and continues on to Mastuj. Another gateway. Another path is the Dadaili Pass in Handarap Nallah, which leads to Swat District.
The people of Ghizer Valley speak the Khowar language, which is the native language. However, some people can also speak Shina, Urdu, and English.
Islam is the only religion followed over here. People belong to Isma'ili and Sunni sects. 65% of total population belong to Ismaili Islam and the rest belong to Sunni Islam.
