Jeep
Safari's:
The Jeep
Safari's are along mountain roads
connecting high villages and valleys. We
carry only three people in each of our
open Willy's jeeps as they drive through
narrow gorges and cross fast-flowing
streams over wooden bridges. Because of
our family connections in Chitral, we are able to
accommodate guests in private homes
where they will meet village folks and
exchange views with them in a friendly
manner.
Pony
Treks:
Chitral is
an excellent place for pony trekking
along abandoned jeep road and foot
paths. Our sturdy mountain ponies
(mostly from the Badakhshan province of
Afghanistan) will carry you confidently
over passes as high as 14,000 ft.
Sitting high on the saddle you will get
breath taking views of un-spoiled
countryside and majestic mountains while
you pass by yaks and cows grazing on
high pastures.
Polo
Tours:
The game
of polo started in Chitral from where
the British took it and introduced it to
the rest of the world after modifying
it. In Chitral the game is still played
in the original no-rules ,
devil-may-care style. Almost every
village has its own Polo ground. Polo
tournaments begin as soon as the snow starts
melting in April and continue till the
winter sets in. The most fierce match is
played every year on the 8th of July at
the Shandur Pass Polo ground which is at
12,500 ft. It is considered the worlds highest
polo ground. Hindukush Heights own the
best camping spot at Shandor where it
arranges the stay for Polo enthusiasts
coming from all over the world. Some of
the guests prefer to prolong their stay
in Chitral to learn Polo (One hour of
stick and ball costing only 10 US$) or
go on Pony treks.
