| The province has an area of 74,521 km² and its districts include Hazara (not to be confused with the Hazara people of Afghanistan), home to the town of Havelian, the western starting point of the Karakoram Highway. |
| Even within Pakistan it is regarded as a "radical state" and a "backwater" due to the rise of Islamist parties in the province and purported support for the remnants of the Taliban who are believed by some to be hiding in the province. |
