Chitral is an isolated 230 kilometer long valley in the northwestern corner of Pakistan. The Hindukush Range dominated by Tirich Mir (the highest Peak in Hindukush 7790 metres ) separated by Afghanistan and the Soviet Union on the west and north. It is divided by Hunza, Gilgit, Swat and Dir on the east and south.

Chitral offers several treks that are greener than those in the Karakorum and Himalaya Ranges.  The Hindukush are generally lower and jagged than the Karakorum and lower Chitral, which is just in the edge of the monsoon belt.

Further north outside the monsoon belt, the valleys look more like the Northern Areas of Pakistan with villages forming small irrigated fields along the rivers. Even the north, through, there are reasonably large pastures at high altitude and on the passes.

Historically Chitral was an important valley because it controlled the shortest and easiest route from China and Central Asia to the northwestern portion of Indian Sub-continent. The branch of ancient Silk Route ran from Kasghar to Tshkugan, over the Wakhjir Pass and down the Oxus (Abi-Punja) River. Then it either crossed the Broghil Pass and Darkot Pass toYasin or followed the Yarkhun Valley/Kunhar River all the way down to Lawari Pass then over to Swat.  The travelers and conquers passed through Chitral on their way to Sub-continent from Central Asia leaving many of their memories behind. You can unfold all the historical background by visiting along.
