Gishkaur Tehsil
Pakistani administrative area
Gishkaur, also spelled Gishkore, is an administrative subdivision (tehsil) of Awaran District in southern Balochistan, Pakistan, spanning an area of approximately 4,578 square kilometres (1,768 sq mi). According to the 2023 national census, Gishkaur is home to 31,462 residents, dispersed across 110 rural settlements.
Situated in the southern part of the province near to the Makran Coast, Gishkaur extends from lowland areas into mountainous terrain, with an elevation rising above 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). The tehsil has a predominantly subtropical desert climate, characterised by hot summers and mild winters.
Gishkaur remains relatively remote, with limited road infrastructure and long-standing security concerns. Economically, it holds limited significance within the broader regional context. This region of Balochistan is among the least developed in Pakistan and is characterised by a notably low Human Development Index (HDI), reflecting systemic challenges in education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities.
Periodic natural disasters, such as droughts and earthquakes, have further exacerbated the difficulties of daily life. A major earthquake, measuring 7.7 in magnitude, caused widespread destruction in the region.

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125886052. Authority coordinates are 25.667, 64.500. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
