WECOME TO CHITRAL
Chitral is land of mountains so I called. If some one looks at it through Google Earth, can truly understand Chitral's geography. It is in the midst of Hindukush range along side Himalaya and Karakurum; which are the only highiest and populous mountains in world. Mountain have their own culture and their landscape totally different from planes. The weather remains  always cool so the people always tried to fight it. So the living style of the people also differs from others. People find their ways of living in mountain differently. So here I have tried to show you the ways the live in these mountains. Chitral has remained cut off from all other parts of the world before late 18th century. It was and it is still locked from all other parts of the world geographically. Only Lawari Top and Shandour Top which are  above 12000 feet high were inaccessible. So Chitral has so little impact of others on its culture. All intruders except Bolsheviks.

Chitral Air port is also visible from here.One old PIA's Foker has been grounded  here near the airport. The Importance of airport is very heigh in every Chitrali's life. Because during the routine clouser of Lawari top for more than six months from the rest of the country every one should think of his escape only via airport. The flight for Chitral is also weather dependent. If there is little change in weather, flight will not opperate.

Wood Work, Chitral, Pakistan History of wood carving in Chitral is very old. One can find its evidence in almost every house. But not patronizing by the government, it has declined.  Some good artisans have transmitted it to new generation. Mr, Rasool Muhammad of Mori Bala is one of them. He has mastered  his son Rashid in wood carving. The father of Rasool Muhammad; Loot Ustad, was a great master in wood carving. He was very famous in his time. He had decorated so many houses and important government buildings. DC office is one of them. Wali ur Rehaman(late) house situated at Zargarandeh is also decorated by him. This  pic is made by Rasool Muhammad and is showing his aptness in his work.
