CHITRAL-CHILLINJI PASS TREK- HINDU KUSH

---

HINDU-KUSH TO KARAKORAM (Chitral Chillinji Pass Trek)
(Chillinji Pass Trek- along the Afghanistan corridor to Hunza Valley)


This trek is located in the restricted zone and we required trekking permit from the Ministry of Tourism in Islamabad, briefing in the beginning and de- briefing at the end of the trek. The trip starts from Islamabad (5-6) hrs drive to Swat Valley in the way visit the Taket- Bahi, the Buddhist Montasry, then drive 8-9hrs to Chitral town, which is also connected by flight from Islamabad and Peshawar. One day will be free for sightseeing in the town or excursion to Kalash valley. Then next day jeep drives to Mastuji about 4-5 hrs then next day to Lasht Village. The Next day trek will start to the Chillinji Pass then to Chaporsan Valley in the north of Hunza. If you would like to trek to the BOROGHIL PASS (3800m) border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, you will camp at the Chilma Rabot before the Karumber Ann and next day you will make excursion to Boroghil Pass to look the Wakhan Corridor.

During this trek the porter uses their donkeys, horses and yakes for the loads up to the Sokhtherabad (near the Highcamp of Chilliji Pass). To cross the Pass with animals is very difficult, so the porters carry themselves for ahead camps. The clients can ride on the horse up to Sokhtherabad if they wish to, it’s possible to hire the horses on rent in Boroghil Valley. For this trek we have to change the porters’ twoice from different villages.

DIFFICULTY:
To cross the Chillinji Pass we required good weather condition, on the Chupursan side of the Pass normally remains snow and on Chitral side dry. Some time we get much snow, however it would be better that members should take crampons and ice axe also the Harness if possible, all these are just for safety and we are providing the rope. It is considers to very easy trek up to the Chillanji Pass.
