Chitral, an area renowned for its breathtaking scenery and enduring charm, is located in Pakistan’s northernmost corner. Ayun Valley, the center of Chitral and a living tapestry of history, culture, and scenic beauty, is a secret that awaiting those who explore beyond its well-traveled routes.
The journey to Ayun is an adventure in and of itself. The Lowari Tunnel is eight hours’ travel from Rawalpindi over picturesque routes. A two-hour drive from here transports you to a realm of glistening springs, majestic mountains, and verdant orchards that seem to have stood the test of time.
