NLI market was built in 1992 to support families of soldiers and officers of the Northern Light Infantry. NLI is an infantry regiment of Pakistan army based in Gilgit, with the primary responsibility to protect the strategic northern areas that touch China, India and Afghanistan. 

When the army first started building the market, businessmen from the neighboring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province already trading in Chinese goods like crockery, clothes, electronics, garments and toys jumped at the opportunity, knowing the market would be a hub for China related trade. Of the 300 shops constructed in first phase, over 80 percent were hired by businessmen from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The biggest market in Gilgit city. Almost everything available, a one stop place for shopping. There are clothing brands, jewelry, shoe brands, electronics, mobile shops, bakeries, crockery, grocery, banks, garments, small restaurants, mobile network franchises, tailors, kid shops, gift shops, carpets, etc. It may be compared with Raja Bazar of Rawalpindi.

Located in the heart of Gilgit City, NLI Market  is quite a attraction for all those visiting Gilgit n Northern areas.
