It is a small agricultural town and oasis situated in Ghanche District, Baltistan, Pakistan. It is well known as a center of Islamic scholarship and learning. The left bank of the Shyok opposite Kuru is located. Today Ghawari and Kuru are connected by a bridge passable by car. Ghawari in the past belonged to the dominion of Kiris.
