Diamer Bhasha Dam Project, Gilgit-Baltistan
The Diamer Bhasha Dam, with a huge reservoir, will be located on the Indus River, in the Diamer district of Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan province, approximately 315km upstream of the Tarbela Dam and 40km downstream of the Chilas town.

The two powerhouses of the project are proposed to be developed in Kohistan, in the neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.

The project area will encompass approximately 110km², extending 100km from the dam site up to the Raikot Bridge on the Karakoram Highway.

A total of 32,139 acres of land including 31,977 acres in Gilgit-Baltistan and 162 acres in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was acquired as of January 2019, which comprises approximately 86% of the total land required for the project.
