Gahkuch

Gahkuch is a town and serves as the administrative capital of the Ghizer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. It is one of the key towns in the Ghizer Valley and serves as a regional hub for transportation and trade.

Known for its dramatic landscape and friendly locals, the town is an important waypoint for travelers heading deeper into the valley, particularly toward Yasin and Ishkoman.

Gahkuch offers a bustling yet intimate marketplace experience. Surrounded by majestic hills and located along the banks of the Ghizer River, this charming town greets travelers journeying deeper into the valley.

From here, visitors often continue toward Phander, but Gahkuch itself—with its local shops and rustic ambiance—provides a delightful introduction to Ghizer’s warm hospitality.
