As well as being the district capital, Karak is also the chief city of Karak tehsil, which is a subdivision of the district. For administrative purpose the district is divided into three parts, the upper, lower and the central. The central part includes Karak city and other small surrounding areas.It is mainly divided in three terhsil vis Karak,Banda daud shah and Takht-e-Nasrati.Almost all Karak citizens are well educated and serving the nation effectively. Karak has a diverse climatic condition.some parts are exteremly hot in summer season like thall area while the upper area (Chontra)is comparatively cold.The major characterestic of district karak is that only a single pashtun tribe khattak is living in karak.There is no khanism practices in karak.

I dont no why from these indian HINDUS got our family name , KHATTAK are 100 percent sunni muslims , They lived in PAKISTAN ,There home land is NWFP,PUNJAB. Alot of more loved in other provinces as well .Nowshera,Kohat,Waziristan,Peshawer,Mianwali,these are the places where they lived,they are hard working people and the sons of KHUSAL KHAN KHATTAK. So let this clear that there is no HINDU / Indian khattak. They call there selves as KHATTAK but they are not . AKHPALA KHAWARA AKHPAL AKHTIAR . NAH MANO DA ABAL AKHTIAR.
