Restored in 1911 by Sir Shuja ul-Mulk, the fort served as a stronghold for the Mehtar of Chitral. Now under the care of the ceremonial ruler Fateh-ul-Mulk Ali Nasir, the fort’s Darbar Hall and state rooms have been revitalized, preserving its historical charm and significance.

Their distinct Mediterranean features and vibrant cultural attire, including goat-skin tunics for men and ankle-length black dresses for women, make the valley an unforgettable experience.

The Shandur Pass, standing at an altitude of 3,700 meters, is the highest mountain pass connecting Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Ghizer in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Renowned for its rugged beauty, it attracts adventure enthusiasts due to its narrow, gravel roads that demand cautious driving, often in low gear.

An interesting fact about Tirich Mir lies in the etymology of its name. In the Wakhi language, "Trich" translates to darkness, and "Mir" means king, giving it the name "King of Darkness." This unique title is believed to reference the shadows the mountain casts over the Wakhan Corridor.
