Chitral & Hindu Kush Tour

Chitral is a remote frontier region beneath Tirich Mir (7,708 m), the highest peak of the Hindu Kush — a land of forts, polo, and the unique Kalash people. It’s one of Pakistan’s most atmospheric and least-visited corners.

From Lahore we head north through Swat to Chitral, visit the Kalash valleys, and (on longer itineraries) cross the legendary Shandur Pass — home to the world’s highest polo ground and the summer Shandur Polo Festival.

Highlights

• Chitral town, fort and bazaar beneath Tirich Mir
• Time with the Kalash people
• The Shandur Pass and its high-altitude polo ground
• Optional Shandur Polo Festival (summer, select dates)
