Timergara (Timargarha or Timergarah) is a town in Lower Dir District, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Timergara is the district headquarters of Lower Dir. It lies at an altitude of 823 m (2,700 ft). Most of the main city lies on the bank of the river Panjkora, which separates Balambat from the main city. The city contains one graduate college for girls and several girls primary schools, and one high

school and graduate college for boys. There are also many private schools and colleges. The area has a weak agriculture infrastructure with no industry. The economy is completely based on the money sent back to the area by people (mainly males) living abroad, mostly in the Gulf countries.[citation needed] Timergara lies on the main road to Dir and then Chitral, and to Bajaur. The town is the site of excavated graves of Aryans, dating from 1500 to 600 BC. On the west side of the Panjkora River is the excavated site of Balambat.

Dir is a region in northwestern Pakistan, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Lying in the foothills of the Himalayas it has beautiful valleys and scenic mountains. Before Pakistan was created, Dir was a princely state, and it remained so until 1969 when it was abolished by a presidential declaration, with the Dir District being created the following year. Dir District was 5,280 square kilometres in area and lay along the disputed border controlled by the Afghan nationalists. The region is situated between Chitral and Peshawar. In 1996 the district was split into Lower Dir and Upper Dir.
