[edit] Location
On the way to Rama Lake, from Astore Valley, there are three small lakes called Sarot in the local Shina language.
Before 2005, Astore was a Tehsil of District Diamir, the 5th District of Northern Areas. Now Astore has been upgraded to a District.
There are more than 50 small beautiful villages in Astore. Some of which are Chilm, Bubin, Gorikot, Eid Ghah, Fina, Bulen, Chongra and Pari Shing. Chilm is the most beautiful village among all the villages of Astore, because it is the starting point of Deosai, the world's second highest plane.
[edit] People
The people of Chilm are called Mirmats or Mirs, who are the descendants of Mirmat, Gyalday and then Akhon Muhammad.
