Nagarkhas (Urdu: نگرخاص), also known as Oyum-Nagar, serves as the administrative center for the Nagar District in Gilgit–Baltistan region of Pakistan and is one of the main towns of the district. Located along the Nagar River, this town also held the distinction of being the capital of the erstwhile princely state of Nagar.

Today, the renowned Karakoram Highway traverses through Nagar, establishing a crucial connection between Pakistan and China via the Khunjerab Pass. This roadway traces the course of the Hunza-Nagar River for a portion of its journey, passing through Nagar and extending into the Hunza District.
