Chitral Valley: Chitral or
Chetrar translated as field in the native language Khowar, is the
capital of the Chitral District, situated on the western bank of the
Kunar River (also called Chitral River), in Pakistan. The town is at the
foot of Tirich Mir, the highest peak of the Hindu Kush, 25,289 ft
(7,708 m) high. It has a population of 20,000, while the district (of
14,833 km² or 5,727 sq mi), has a population of 300,000. The altitude of
the valley is 3,700 ft (1,100 m). The easiest access to Chitral is in
the southwest along the Chitral or Kunar Valley towards Jalalabad. This
route is open all year and provides direct access to Kabul. However the
Pakistan–Afghanistan border (Durand Line) prevents this being used as an
internal route to Peshawar and the south.
