A day trip to the Kalash Valley of Bhumburet includes a visit with an ancient pagan tribe that is now highly endangered (only 3,000 remain). The Greeks claim that this tribe is descended from Alexander the Great’s army. You will spend time with Kalash families in their homes, visit a holy temple and museum, and stroll through the village and valley, enjoying the generous hospitality of the Kalash people.

Chitral’s main cultural attractions are a short drive from the hotel. This small town boasts a rather well-stocked little museum, a traditional polo field still in active service, an early 20th century mosque built by the Mehtar Shuja Ul Mulk as well as an incredibly well preserved late medieval era fort which was the site of the infamous Siege of Chtiral. Chitral is also home to a traditional Central Asian bazaar and still maintains the old fashioned charm of a Silk Road market town.

The Tooshi Game Reserve is home to a large and growing population of Astor Markhor, with at least 120 specimens at last count. Tooshi is a mere twenty minutes away, where you can view this rare and majestic creature with its corkscrew horns, and in its natural habitat from the banks of the Lutkho River.

Chitral has a larger variety of medium-range treks to choose from than any other part of Pakistan including Gilgit and Baltistan. These treks go over mountain passes connecting the numerous valleys inside the large district of Chitral. Some of them also connect with the Ghizer and Ishkoman valleys of GB. These valleys are home to a very friendly and hospitable population; who not only receive visitors happily but also share their meager resources open-heartedly. Trekking season starts as early as mid-March, for passes below 8000ft; continuing as late as September and possibly October, for passes above 14000ft. None of these treks pose any technical difficulty and can be endured by those with some outdoor exposure; with average fitness and stamina.
