There are ten districts in Gilgit–Baltistan, four in Baltistan Division, four in Gilgit Division and two in Diamer
Division.[1] The number rose from seven to ten in 2016 after the addition of 2 districts in Baltistan Valley and
the bifurcation of the Hunza-Nagar district.[2][3] Each district is further divided into tehsils and union councils.
