Lower Chitral – Gateway to Kalash Valleys & Majestic Peaks
Discover Lower Chitral, the cultural and commercial hub of the region, nestled under the shadow of mighty Tirich Mir, the highest peak of the Hindu Kush (7,708m). Start your journey in Chitral Town, home to the historic Chitral Fort, Shahi Mosque, and lively local bazaars brimming with traditional handicrafts.
Venture into the world-famous Kalash Valleys — Bumburet, Rumbur, and Birir — home to the unique Kalasha people, their vibrant festivals like Chilam Joshi, and beautifully terraced fields. Explore the serene Ayun Valley, a picturesque village with spectacular views of the mountains and the gateway to the Kalash region.
Visit Garam Chashma, a scenic valley known for its natural hot springs, trout fishing, and lush meadows. Hike into the dramatic Tirich Valley, the main route for expeditions to Tirich Mir and surrounding glaciers. Birdwatchers and nature lovers will love Chitral Gol National Park, where snow leopards, ibex, and markhor roam.
