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.

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.
