Chitral, Hindu Kush
Tirich Mir, polo grounds and the unique culture of the Kalash people in the Hindu Kush.
All destinations
Chitral is a long green valley below Tirich Mir, the highest peak of the Hindu Kush. Its fort, mosques and Shandur polo festival reflect centuries of mountain kingdoms.
The Kalash valleys of Bumburet, Rumbur and Birir are home to a small community with their own language, festivals and colourful dress — visited respectfully with local hosts.
