=== Gulmit - The Sub-Division Headquarters === [[Gulmit]]<ref name=Dawn/> is the administrative headquarters of the Gojal Sub-Division. Gulmit is a centuries-old historic town, with mountains, peaks and glaciers. It is a tourist spot and has many hotels, shops and a museum. It is located {{convert|2,408|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} above the sea level. Gulmit consists of small hamlets called Kamaris, Odver, Dalgiram, Laksh, Kalha, Shawaran, Khor Lakhsh, Chamangul, and Goze. Gulmit is home to around 4,000 people, all of them Wakhi-speakers and followers of the [[Ismaili]] school of thought of [[Shia Islam]]. [[File:A view of Gulmit during autumn season.jpg|thumb|A view of Gulmit during the autumn season]] Before 1974, when [[Hunza (princely state)|Hunza]] was a state, [[Gulmit]] used to be the Summer Capital of the state. After the abolition of the state it became the Tehsil's seat of government. The oldest intact house in Gulmit is more than six centuries old. There are six Jama'at Khanas or religious community centers in [[Gulmit]]. One notices their presence in every ward of the village. The old Summer Palace of Mir of Hunza stands at the northern edge of Gulmit's historic Polo Ground. Old mosques, now used as libraries, also adorn the beautiful physique of Gulmit valley. Among new buildings constructed by the government in [[Gulmit]] are Tehsil Headquarters, Federal Government's Boys High School, Civil Hospital, Diamond Jubilee Girls Middle School, and Government Girls Higher Secondary School. Al- Amyn Model School, a community-based organization, has a beautiful building standing next to the Health Center of [[Aga Khan Health Services]].
