One of the sports that is getting fame for almost a decade in Pakistan. Let me tell you something about the mountainous regions of Pakistan. When we look at its north, many rivers, rivulets flow across the narrow valleys which invite the adventurers to come and explore likewise river Kunhar in Kaghan valley, river Chitral in Chitral valley and Indus in the valleys of northern Pakistan. Personally I have done some rafting in both rivers with some groups and some parts are really challenging. Time: Best time for these rivers April and May early spring season in these parts, and the month of September.

As this land is blessed with mountains and rocky ridges which invite the adventure lovers from all over the world because when one looks at their tops, they are standing with pride and asking to come and explore them. In 2004, we had done some climbing in Khanpur a small town located almost at the distance of 35, 40 km from Islamabad towards Karakoram Highway. Later on in October 2004, at Shoghore , a small village from Chitral town located at the distance of 25 Km,, enroute for Grama chashma (village of geysers at Pak afghan border) in the famous mountain range of Hindukush. The rocky ridges very straight and breathtaking and a real adventure is there for mountain lovers. Time: Khanpur is located in the south so it is accessible and suitable for Rock climbing all year round but for Chitral from April till September.

 | |  |  | Chitral and Kailash Valley: Must Visit | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
The Chitral Valley at an elevation of 1128 meters (3,700 ft) is popular with mountaineers, anglers, hunters, hikers, naturalists and anthropologists. The 7,788 meters (25,550 ft) Trichmir, the highest peak of the Hindukush mountain, dominates this 322km long exotic valley. Chitral district has Afghanistan on its North, South and West. A narrow strip of Afghan territory, Wakhan, separates it from Tajikistan. The tourist season in Chitral is from June to September. One of the major attractions of Chitral are the Kalash valleys-the home of the Kafir-Kalash or "Wearers of the Black Robe", a primitive pagan tribe. Their ancestry is enveloped in mystery and is the subject of controversy. A legend says that five soldiers of the legions of Alexander of Macedon settled in Chitral and are the progenitors of the Kafir-Kalash. The 3,000 strong Kafir-Kalash live in the valley of Birir, Bumburet and Rambur in the South. Bamburet, the largest and the most picturesque valley of the Kafir-Kalash, is 40km from Chitral and is connected by a jeepable road. Birir, 34km away is accessible by a jeepable road. Rambur is 32km from Chitral, the road is jeepable. The Kalash women wear black gowns of coarse cloth in summer and hand-spun wool dyed in black in winter. Their pictureque headgear is made of woollen black material decked out with cowrie shells, buttons and crowned with a large coloured feather. In parts of Greece even today some women sport a similar headcovering. The Kalash people love music and dancing particularly on occasions of their religious festivals like Joshi Chilimjusht (14th & 15th May - spring), Phool (20th - 25th September) and Chowas (18th to 21st December).
