This is the vast area administrated by three police stations (Nara, Lora & New Khanpur). The Valley area starts from New Khanpur and ends at Ayubia in West to East and from Havelian to Margalla Hills from North to South. The eastern half of this area is in district Abbottabad the other half is in district Haripur.
