Alpuari Town is the headquarter of the district, and two main tehsils/Sub divisions viz: Tehsil Puran and Tehsil Alpuari. There are three sub tehsils i.e. tehsil Besham, tehsil Chakesar, tehsil Martung. Shangla has the lowest Human Development Index in the province and second lowest in the country.[1][2] Shangla, previously a subdivision of Swat district, was upgraded to the status of a district on July 1, 1995[3] by the then Chief Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao.

Shangla hill (Shangla top), separates the district from Swat, and the Shangla Pass is the only way of communication between the two districts.
The district is bounded on the east by PATA district of Batagram and Kala Dhaka (Black Mountain of Hazara) along which the Indus River flows for about 75 kilometres, on the west by district Swat, on the south by district Buner and tribal area of Kala Dhaka and on the north by district Kohistan.

The average elevation of the district is 2000 to 3000 meters above sea level.[3] The highest point (3,440 m) is near Kuz Ganrshal in the north of the district.[3]There are beautiful isolated valleys most suitable for seed production of highly demanded cross pollinated vegetable crops. Moreover Shangla has got pretty enough potential for hydel power generation, one such project underway is at Khan Khwar.[5]
