Shandur Beauty


As shandur is the best picnic point I have ever experienced in Pakistan, so it would be the best area if anyone wants to make his/herself fresh and stay away from the worries of his daily life so he/she should visit shandur, but keep in mind the visit should be in summers because in winters the area is completed filled with snow and nobody can go through these routes so summer would be a wise choice with anyone plan to explore Pakistan, Chitral. 



Shandur polo ground

the heights polo ground in the world is located in shandur, named shandur polo ground which is quite famous in the world for its natural beauty which attracts tourists from all over the world. the unique thing about this ground is, its naturally structured ground, the geographical area of the ground is so beautiful because the ground is located right at the center of the area and it has slops at all its four sides which creates an amazing view of the ground.

Every year polo tournament took place at shandur from 7th to 9th July between the teams of Gilgit and Chitral that is named as shandur polo festival. people from all over the world visit shandur on that week and enjoy the festival and also enjoy the natural beauty of shandur top. 
people compare it to Switzerland, but it's my opinion that in some aspects it's far better than Switzerland. 
initially, there were very rough roads due to which people faced difficulty while going to the festival but now that condition of the road is much better and one can easily visit shandur in his own transport. 

the local people wait a whole year for this event to enjoy the traffic of people and tourist from all over the world because these are the opportunity for them to earn smoothing out of nowhere, they sell dry fruits, fresh fruits, juices, food & open restaurants so as to provide batter experience for the tourist who visits their areas. the hospitality level of Chitral people is mind-blowing, one will love the attitude of the locals and hospitality. we should appreciate the efforts from locals and encourage them to make even better ways to tackle the guest.
