INTRODUCTION Upper Dir is one of the 26 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa , Dir Upper is a region in northwestern Pakistan, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is located in the foothills of the Himalayas. Before Pakistan was created, Dir was a separate state, and it remained so until 1969 when it was abolished by a presidential declaration, with the Dir District being created the following year. Dir District was 5,280 square kilometers. In 1996 the District was split into Lower Dir and Upper Dir. Dir Upper lies on the southeast side of the Hindu Kush and the major river is the Panjkora River which flows southwest through the region. CULTURE Painda Khel, sultan khel, kadi khel, Swati Katani and Kohistani Gujar, tribes populate district Dir Upper. The people of the district are very simple, hospitable and good pathans. They are known for their hard work. They all are Sunni Muslims. Poverty is wide spread. People live and die for their honor and dignity.
