Gadap Town (Template:Lang-sd, Template:Lang-ur) is a town in the northwestern part of Karachi with the Hub River on its western limits also forming the provincial border between Sindh and Balochistan, while to the north and east are Jamshoro District and the Kirthar Mountains. Before the independence of Pakistan, there were small villages of Jokhio and Kalmati Baloch tribe in the Gadap and Malir Town of modern Karachi. Now both towns are developed as the suburbs of the city because of the urban sprawl.
