Chitral Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I pulled myself away from Rumbour and caught one of the few jeeps back to Chitral town. I'd left a bag with A's family to look after and I'd promised them I'd come back so I went straight back to their home and was warmly welcomed. I spent the night there and spent the time helping the little girl with her English and being fed so much I thought...

Nous quittons la Karakorum highway pour partir vers l'ouest, dans l'Hindu Kush. Après près de 2 jours de route à travers les montagnes, en passant un col a 4300m, nous arrivons à Chitral, la ville la plus au nord ouest du Pakistan, tout près de l'afghanistan. Il n'y a pas grand chose à faire à Chitral même si ce n'est visiter sa petite mosquée ...

The Shandur Polo Festival is the Northern Area's biggest annual sporting event and takes place at the top of the Shandur Pass at 3'800m. Tens of thousands of people from the Gilgit and Chital region come to watch their team fight against each other for 3 days. Fight is the right word here as this is not exactly the aristocratic sport we are used...

Hello and welcome to the Kalash valley of Chitral! Kalash valley of Chitral is of considerable attraction for visitors given its rich and colourful culture and festivals that continue almost all around their year. Kalash community is inhabited in three of the Kalash valleys of Bumburate, Rumbur and Birir and is known for their hospitality and fr...

In the northwest corner of Pakistan lies the Chitral District, home of the Chitrali people as well as the Kalash people, the immense Hindu Kush mountains, and wildlife tucked away in a small national park. I stayed here two weeks, camping in the Chitral Gol National Park, walking slowly through the Rumbur Valley where the Kalasha people live, a...

A super quick one here. Chitral doesn't really have much to offer really but is more of a jumping off point to the various valleys in Northern Pakistan. For us however it also marked the end of the worst bus trip we have ever experienced. And when we say 'ever', we mean it. This bus trip was like paying to be tortured for 16 hours straight. You ...

spent the night near the shandur pass, home of the world's highest (15,000 feet) polo field. every july 80,000 people come here to watch a polo game. we walked around on the deserted field in the middle of the mountains, very pretty. we got to chitral tonight, a small town. from our hotel we have a great view of the hindukush mountain range - aw...

I did almost nothing in the 5 or 6 days I stayed at the Kalash Guest House, I guess I needed a break to try to recover from my chronical diarrea. All I did was enjoy the company of fellow travelers (Jim, Bert, Hirosh, Nadia and Cody), go for a dip in the freezing cold waters of the fast flowing river, play cards, enjoy the scenery and, best of a...

The Plan We needed to take a bus, up to Dir, then jump into a 4-wheel drive and go over the Lowari Pass and end up in Chitral. The Trip Up early, we jumped into a cab, who drove straight past the bus station. When questioning this, he spoke in Urdu, so **** knows what he said. Eventually, he kicked us out at a minibus station. We were pushed int...

Chitral and the Kalasha Valleys We decided to head north. In theory it all seemed so easy. Get a bus to Dir then a mini bus or 4 wheel drive up to Chitral. At the bus station in Peshawar we asked around and were lead over to a mini bus supposedly going to Dir. We arrived somewhere that wasn't Dir. We hadn't been on the road long enough for it to...
