A
50 minute flight from Peshawar
takes you to the north western
extremity of Pakistan where
lies the exotic valley of Chitral.
Towering the valley is the majestic
7705 meters (25,264 ft.) high
Trichmir peak. In three narrow
valleys about 40 km (25 odd
miles) from the town of Chitral
live the famous Kafir Kalash
tribe. They are known the world
over for their primitive pagan
traditions and their love for
dance and music. Chitral has
many sulphur springs and is
popular for trekking, mountaineering
and trout fishing. There are
a couple of hotels in Chitral.
PTDC has a Motel and transport
hiring facilities at Chitral.
