Nagar

Nagar was a mountain principality of the Burusho people, neighbouring Hunza in the valleys north of Gilgit. Established in the fourteenth century, it maintained its own rulers through the centuries that followed. The ruling family claimed descent from the Trakhan dynasty of Gilgit, as did the rulers of Hunza. Narrow valleys and high passes connected these neighbouring states across the great mountain ranges of the upper Indus.
