The Gupis-Yasin District (Urdu: ضلع گوپیس یاسین) lies in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. It is the westernmost of the 14 districts in Gilgit-Baltistan.

This district was established in 2019 and was formed by merging two tehsils, namely the Gupis Tehsil and the Yasin Tehsil. These two western tehsils were originally part of the larger Ghizer District but were reorganized to create the Gupis-Yasin District as a separate administrative entity within Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Gupis-Yasin District shares its boundaries with various neighboring regions. It is bordered by the Upper Chitral District of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province to the north and west, the Ghizer District, to the east, and the Swat District of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and the Upper Kohistan District of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province to the south.

The previous map of the Ghizer District displayed both the Yasin Tehsil and the original, larger Gupis Tehsil. However, this Gupis Tehsil was later divided into two separate tehsils. The first one is the current, smaller Gupis Tehsil, while the second is the Phander Tehsil.

In its current configuration, the Ghizer District comprises the Ishkoman Tehsil and the Punial Tehsil.. These administrative divisions represent the reorganization of the district, leading to the establishment of the Gupis-Yasin District as a distinct administrative entity within Gilgit-Baltistan.

The district also includes the Shandur National Park.

Administration

The Gupis-Yasin District consists of three tehsils:

The district headquarters is the town of Phander.

Notes

  1. ^ On the map of Gilgit-Baltistan, the Ishkoman Tehsil is wrongly shown as part of the Gupis-Yasin District.
