Overview

A bucket-list expedition to the Shandur Polo Festival — held each July on a 3,700m plateau, the highest polo ground in the world, where the historic rivalry between Chitral and Gilgit plays out.

The journey itself is half the adventure: Chitral, the Mastuj valley, the turquoise lakes of Phander, and nights camping on the wild Shandur plateau amid the festivities.
