Torghar District (Pashto: تور غر ولسوالۍ, Urdu: ضلع تورغر) formerly known as Kala Dhaka (Hindko: کالا ڈهاکہ) is a district in the Hazara Division of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[3] It was officially separated from Mansehra District in 2011 under Article 246 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.[4]

Primarily, Pashtuns dominate this area. The main Pashtun tribe of Torghar is Yusufzai, which constitutes more than half of the district population.[citation needed]
