| Chitral Valley, located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, is a breathtaking destination renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. Chitral Valley is situated in the northwestern part of Pakistan, bordered by Afghanistan to the north and west, and Gilgit-Baltistan to the east. It is nestled amidst the majestic peaks of the Hindu Kush mountain range, with elevations ranging from lush valleys to towering mountains. District Chitral is also home of Kaalash valley. The valley is home to the Kalash people, who are believed to be descendants of Alexander the Great’s army. The Kalash maintain unique customs, rituals, and festivals, such as the Chilam Joshi festival, Uchal festival, and Chaumos (winter solstice) festival.
