Dafdar or Daftar (Chinese: 达佈达尔, pinyin: Dábùdá'ĕr) is a village in the disputed Taghdumbash Pamir located in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. It is inhabited by Wakhis.[2] The village lies at an altitude of 3,400 m above sea level, just to the east of the Karakoram Highway.[3]
During the Qing Dynasty the Chinese claimed suzerainty over the area but permitted the Mir of Hunza to administer the region in return for a tribute. The Mir erected a cairn in the village to evidence his control. The villagers stopped paying tribute to Hunza in 1937.[3]
