To discover the region of Chitral and Hunza by bike has its own charm. We start our trip from Islamabad to Peshawar through the beautiful Swat Valley up to Dir by jeep. From here one can use the own horsepower. TheHunza Valley 3118 m high Lowari Pass and the 3720 m high Shandur Pass are highlights for bikers. The Chitral Valley at an elevation of 1127 m, which is between the two passes, is a beautiful setting full of exotic charm. The major attractions are the Kalash Valleys.
The population of 3000- strong Kafir Kalash people live in the valleys of Birir, Bumburet and Rumber. The Kalash are cheerful people, who love music and dancing particularly on the occasion of their religious festivals. After the strenuous climb to Shandur pass one can relax on the magnificent plateau. We continue our bike ride to the dark blue Phander Lake. There we should try to catch our own trout fish for dinner.
Altitude: 4833 m. Max.
