SHANDUR PASS:
The
world famous Shandur Pass is about 3738 m above sea
level and lies midway between Chitral and Gligit. The
distance from both Chitral and Gilgit is about 168 km.
These areas remain snow- clad in winter and turn into
a green heaven during summer. There is a big lake in
the area. One can approach the Shandur Top by jeep from
either side. The traditional Polo Tournament between
the Gilgit and Chitral teams is held here every year
in the month of July. Foreign tourists and natives come
to see the festival.
