RouteChitral

M1 from Islamabad thru N-45 to Dir and onwards thru Loweri top to Chitral. Started 12pm. Reached Chitral 1.00 midnite. Stayed at Tirrich Mir hotel. No light at that time. Next day went to Booni. Then next day went on Chitral Shunder road to Gilgit. On the way stopped at beautiful Mastuq PTDC. After overnight stay at Mastuq travelled thru Shandur pass to Gilgit. The Polo ground at Shankar was still covered in snow in May, 2016. Came back to Islamabad from Gilgit on helicopter. Wonderful views.
