About This Destination
Every July the Shandur Pass (3,700m) hosts the legendary 'King of Games' — freestyle mountain polo played between the rival teams of Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan on the world's highest polo ground. This tour takes you through the Hindu Kush to Chitral and up to the festival itself: days of electrifying matches, folk music, dancing and camping under the stars at the roof of the world.
