Narali (Urdu: نڑالى, Alternate spellings: Nirali) is one of the oldest and largest towns of Gujar Khan Tehsil, Punjab province of Pakistan. Narali used to be the hub of trade before partition. It had large Hindu and Sikh populations that dominated the trade circle. It still has a number of remains and ruins of Hindu culture and temples. It is culturally richer than the adjoining villages. Narali enjoys a very important position because it has union council office, patwarkhana, health centre and a post office.

Villages in Narali are mostly home to the Panwar and Sati Rajput clans most notably in the villages of Mohra Faryaal, Dhoke Cheemiyan and Dhoke Kayaal. The remaining villages in Narali consist of the following tribes: Cheemas (sub clan of Jut), Gujjars, Awans, Missaris, Masalli, Kaswis, Bhattis, Muhaajir and Absiri tribes. The Rajputs are addressed as Raja whilst the rest have adopted Chaudhry as there title.[1]
