Danyor (Urdu, Shina: دنیور) is a village in the namesake Tehsil in the district Gilgit lies across the river Gilgit in the outskirts of the regional Capital of Gilgit-Baltistan. Danyor is famous for its lush green fields, and poplar trees. The world's highest paved road KKH passes through the beautiful landscape of the village.[1]
Important Places
The Shrine of Shah Sultan Alif above the Danyore tunnel,[2] the Chinese Graveyard near the Karakoram Highway and the rock inscriptions in the Chikas locality are the widely visited tourist attractions.[3] The Danyor Suspension Bridge, which was constructed over a half century ago, is quite a wonder; it connects the KIU Campus to the village. The Danyor end of the bridge enters a tunnel constructed by locals without any proper civil engineering equipments some 5 decades ago.[4][5] [6]
