Pakistan is a beautiful country with extraordinary places. One of such amazing places of Pakistan is Shandur Pass. Shandur Pass is famous around the world because the world’s highest ground of polo is there constructed at height of around 3738 meters from the level of sea. It is in the center of Gilgit and Chitral, the distance is 147 KM Chitral and 211 KM Gilgit. The top of Shandur Pass is flat, it is a plateau.

From deep within Chitral originates Lowari Pass which connects it to Dir, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. It is by a long way the lowermost pass i.e. 10,230 ft. to come in Chitral as others range from 12,000 – 15,000 ft. It remains covered with snow from November to the end of May and rests closed throughout this time. Whilst this period lasts people essentially travel by feet on the Lowari Pass as slippery roads may cause your car to slide and get out of control leading to severe injuries, maybe even death. Also that the mountains along the pass are highly sensitive during this time and any turbulence in the natural order of things may result in an avalanche without any counsel. Every winter few deaths are reported, people die at the hands of these inundations while your passage through Lowari Pass. They meet a cruel fate as their bodies remain covered by snow throughout the season only to be revealed in summer, as the snow liquesces.

The Babusar Pass is a 150 km long mountain pass on the Karakoram Highway and it connects Kaghan Valley with Thak Nala. It provides you with ground to travel on at the highest point in Kaghan Valley. You should definitely seek native’s advice before crossing the pass as it is reputed as a treacherous one and one wrong turn can lead to your demise. Reliable sources include PTDC, the field officers from NAPWD (Northern Areas Public Working Department) and the NATCO drivers assigned to the Babusar pass (these guys are pros they traverse the pass every day).
