People of the Roundu valley belong to Shia sect of Islam.

The district headquarters is the town of Thowar, which is about 65–70 km from Skardu.

Although the population of Dambudas is less than that of the Stak, Thorchay, and Tormik valleys, Dambudas is located in the middle of the Rondu Valley, so it currently serves as the district headquarters.

About 70% of the residents speak Balti, and around 30% speak Shina, but most Shina people are bilingual, due to having living with Balti people for a long time.

The Rondu District has very scenic and lush green valleys, such as Bilamik, Talubruq, Tormik, and Ganji (Gunji), and has four union councils: Mindi, Stak, Tormik, and Ganji.
