Seasons of the Chitral Valley

Chitral & Gilgit-Baltistan
We have four seasons of the year in the mountains of northern Pakistan.

Each season has its colors with a lot of seasonal birds and wildlife. In spring and winter, we receive migratory birds as the Chitral valley is the migratory route to the waterfowl on their way to and from Siberia. During autumn, northern Pakistan presents a stunning view with colorful leaves, and summers are known for juicy fruits (mulberry, peaches, apricots, grapes, cherries, etc.). The spring season is equally attractive with the blossoms of apricot and apple. Winters are harsh, and we receive heavy snowfall and avalanches everywhere. We do not have complicated structured buildings in the area, and people live simply in harmony with nature.
