Shandur Pass and Chitral
Day 36...
small town of Gupis enroute to Chitral
the day long trip from Gilgit to Chitral passes by many beautiful green valleys and mountains
approaching the Shandur Pass (3810m)
Shandur Pass is one of the highest polo ground in the world, flanked by many mountain peaks of the Hindukush
the local kids love to gather around the bus whenever we stop
Day 37...
the frequent break during a long journey for the all important chai =p
glimpses of the Chitral Fort
and the Shahi Mosque
my new Chitrali friends who insisted on treating me to dinner lol

Chitral is definately on my list to visit. Love your pictures !!! Pakistan is an undiscovered treasure for tourists.
