It is unfortunate to witness reckless driving on the lands of Qaqlasht. Soon, this land will transform into vibrant green meadows, welcoming thousands for the Qaqlasht Festival. Damaging it now is unacceptable. Collective responsibility and firm action are urgently needed to protect this natural heritage. @CSKPOfficial @DCUpperChitral #Qaqlasht #Chitral #Pakistan

King For One Day. A Unique Kalash Tradition 👑 In the Kalash Valley, Chitral a centuries old tradition is still practiced where one person is chosen as king for a single day, usually for winning a traditional game or showing exceptional skill, strength or bravery during community celebrations. His orders are respectfully followed and he hosts a communal feast by sacrificing livestock, symbolizing generosity, equality and unity. As the day ends, the kingship ends but the tradition lives on. #Kalash #Chitral #Pakistan

@sadaat55 It melts into streams that feed two main rivers, the Chitral River on the Chitral side and the Panjkora River on the Dir side. Both rivers flow into the Kabul River, which then joins the Indus River. So all the water from Lawari snow stays in Pakistan

@ChitralPK Will this snow melt into Pakistan or into Afghanistan? and in which river.... Thank you if you could update me....😊
