Thowar Valley (Urdu: تھوار, Balti: སྟཀ ནལ་) is located in the Roundu Subdivision of Skardu District within Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan, part of the disputed Kashmir region. Positioned on the right bank of the Indus River, Pakistan's longest river, the valley lies between Skardu and Gilgit city. Serving as the administrative hub of Roundu Subdivision, Shower Valley houses key facilities, including the THQ hospital, Assistant Commissioner's House, a college and other significant landmarks.[1]
