Gilgit-Baltistan is a part of the former Kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir, that was mostly tributary areas of several lower rank states within J&K. After independence of Pakistan and India, this territory stayed without any official status under Pakistani military influence, known as Northern Areas. In 2009 Pakistan gave a self-governance to the territory under the name Gilgit-Baltistan.

The flag is green with the coat of arms on it, in a similar manner as the Pakistan provincial flags. There is also a flag for the GB Assembly which photo can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10218437039065794&set=pcb.374552140336652
