Narali (Urdu: نڑالى, Alternate spellings: Nirali) is one of the oldest and largest towns of Gujar Khan Tehsil, Punjab province of Pakistan. Narali used to be the hub of trade before partition. It had large Hindu and Sikh populations that dominated the trade circle. It still has a number of remains and ruins of Hindu culture and temples. It is culturally richer than the adjoining villages. Narali enjoys a very important position because it has union council office, patwarkhana, health centre and a post office.

Villages in Narali are mostly home to the Panwar and Sati Rajput clans most notably in the villages of Mohra Faryaal, Dhoke Cheemiyan and Dhoke Kayaal. The remaining villages in Narali consist of the following tribes: Cheemas (sub clan of Jut), Gujjars, Awans, Missaris, Masalli, Kaswis, Bhattis, Muhaajir and Absiri tribes. The Rajputs are addressed as Raja whilst the rest have adopted Chaudhry as there title.^[1]

Narali Union Council consists of the following villages:

• Narali- Well known village home to around 3000 people. Most tribes from this clan are from Rajpoot (Gakhar, Kayani), Cheema, Jarral and Malik descent. Raja Sadiq Khan was a well known personality in this village who it is believed was the first to capture this area whilst it was under the Sikh rule in the 17th century.
• Taakhra- A village located in the central part of Narali that has a population of around 1000 people. The main tribe in this village was originally Thakurs who it is believed migrated from India in the 14th century. However, today the ancestral lineage of the current residing tribes are unknown and is disputed amongst many and therefore they have adopted Chaudhary as there title.
