What is a District?
A district is like a large county or region within a province. It helps to organize the land and people. Each district usually has a main city that acts as its capital, where important offices are located.
Where is Layyah District?
Layyah District is located in a central part of Pakistan. It shares its borders with several other districts:
- To the north, it borders Bhakkar District.
- To the south, it borders Muzaffargarh District.
- To the east, it borders Jhang District.

Parts of Layyah District
Layyah District is divided into three smaller parts, which are called tehsils. A tehsil is like a sub-district, helping to manage smaller areas. The three tehsils are:
- Layyah Tehsil
- Chaubara Tehsil
- Karor Lal Esan Tehsil
Weather in Layyah District
Layyah District experiences a very hot climate for most of the year. However, during winter, the temperature can drop quite low. This is because the district is close to the Koh-Suleman mountains, which influence its weather.
Land and Farming
The tehsil of Chaubara is mostly barren land. It has many forests and large sand dunes. On the other hand, Layyah Tehsil and Karor Lal Esan Tehsil are more developed for agriculture. This means they have more farms and grow crops. However, even these areas still have large sections of sand dunes and uncultivated land.
The famous Indus River flows along the western side of Layyah District. It runs from north to south and touches the D.G. Khan area. This river is very important for the water supply in the region.
