The Chitral valley; at an elevation of 1127.76 meters (3,700 feet) is a favorite with mountaineers, anglers, hunters, hikers, naturalists and anthropologists. The 7787.64 meters (25,550 feet) Trichmir, the highest peak of the Hindu Kush Mountains dominates this 321.87 km (200 miles) long exotic valley. Afghanistan is located to the north, south and west of the district. A narrow strip of Afghan territory, Wakhan separates it from the ex-Soviet republic of Tajikistan. Tourists flock Chitral from June to September. The rest of the year, this land is inaccessible due to blockage of traffic routes by snow.
The district capital is Chitral Town itself. The main attractions of Chitral town are the bazaar, the Mahtar of Chitral's fort and the main Mosque by the river. The summer palace of the ex-ruler of Chitral is on the hilltop above the town at Birmoghlasht.
