Hi friends, I hope you all are well. In this post I am going to tell you about the chitral beauty of Pakistan.
Chitral is one of the mountainous regions of Pakistan, located in the far north. Its total area is 14,800 km2 and 90% of the area is under the mountains. The highest and densest section of the Hindu Kush is located within the borders of Chitral.
Chitral is also the most peaceful area of Pakistan. Its culture is unique. There are two ethnic groups in Chitral. There is a Kalash who is a descendant of Alexander the Great. Kalash now has only 3,000 people and lives in the southwestern valleys of Chitral. They have their own unique culture which is a major source of attraction for three major festivals and tourists in a year.
They live peacefully with their neighbors who outnumber them. Their way of life is very interesting. The other group, which is living in a state of ideal friendship and harmony with its Kalash neighbors, is said to be known for its culture and peace-loving nature and integrity. British and Chitral authors have written many books in English on Kalash culture as well as Chitral as a whole, and these books are available in large libraries, on the market and on the net. Research on the history, origins and culture of the Kalash community of Chitral is still ongoing.
I hope you all enjoy this beautiful and informative post. Thanks!
