Darel Valley is a valley in the Darel District of the Pakistani-administered Gilgit–Baltistan. A river known by the same name, which is a tributary of the Indus River, flows through the entire length of the valley.[1] At a distance south of the valley, the Indus River passes in the east-west direction.
Darel Valley holds villages containing archaeological remains from the Buddhist period, including worship places, monasteries, and fortresses, notably in the Phoguch village of the valley.[2][3]
