Chapter Hindukush | Kalash, Chitral, Kumrat & Beyond.
Experience the best of the Hindukush.
This trip has been designed to the beautiful Hindukush mountains of Pakistan focusing on not just providing some of the best sightseeing and natural experiences but also to introduce people to the amazing culture of the people living there.
The first phase of the trip to Kailash and Chitral is mostly to provide a cultural experience, the Kalashas are an ancient tribe to be as old as 1500 BC and offer a gateway into old times, the experience is really profound and makes one wonder. The second phase of the trip is all about our love for beautiful mountains & sightseeing.
Kumrat valley is a lush green valley and offers some of the most breathtaking views, imagine staying in the woods beside a flowing river engulfed with nature. However, it's an adventure site & camping facilities are more of an adventurous nature.
