Dila has an altitude of 2044 m.[1] Dila has a couple of hundred families. The town is organically built up, meaning that there is no road grid but rather a winding of trails and roads that goes through the town. Water is supplied by local wells, several being installed by reconstruction teams, but many being hand-dug for families as well. Dila itself has a main store. There is a doctor in town, but his credentials are unknown.
