• Comment: Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers.
  If the article either is ready for the encyclopedia or appears to be ready for the encyclopedia, the draft will be redirected to the article. However, the article could have been moved into article space instead.
  If the article does not appear to be ready for the encyclopedia, the article may be nominated for deletion, and the draft will be kept.
  This draft contains more information than the article, and has sources. It is recommended that the added information be merged into the article, at which time the PROD tag can be removed. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Tissar (Urdu: تسر) is a village located in the Shigar District of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Situated on the left bank of the Shigar River, it is approximately 52 kilometers from Skardu City.  The village is part of the Shigar Valley, which stretches about 170 kilometers from Skardu to Askole and serves as a gateway to the high mountains of the Karakoram, including K2.

Tissar is nestled in the Shigar Valley, surrounded by majestic mountains and verdant landscapes. The Shigar River irrigates the fertile land, supporting the cultivation of fruits like grapes, peaches, pears, walnuts, and apricots.  The valley's elevation and natural beauty make it a popular destination for hiking, trekking, and mountaineering.^[1]

The town is predominantly inhabited by Shia Muslims, specifically adherents of the Twelver branch of Shia Islam. In 2015, five individuals from outside the region were arrested in Tissar on allegations of involvement with banned organizations.^[2]

The village of Qaimabad, within Tissar, is home to Masjid-e-Zehra,^[3] a mosque with a square plan and verandahs on two sides. Constructed using timber and stone, it reflects the traditional architectural style of the region.

In July 2023, Muhammad Hassan, a porter from Tissar, tragically lost his life during an expedition on K2. His body was retrieved from the mountain and airlifted by a Pakistan Army helicopter to Dassu, near his village, in a historic rescue mission.^[4]

Tissar's proximity to the Shigar Valley makes it an attractive spot for tourists seeking to explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Gilgit-Baltistan. The valley serves as a gateway to the Karakoram Range, offering opportunities for trekking and mountaineering.
