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