We did this travel on 27/03/2021 on our way from Dir to Chitral.

Lowari Tunnel (Urdu: لواري سرنگ‎, Lowari Sarang) is a 10.4 kilometres (6.5 mi) vehicular tunnel under the Lowari Pass of the Hindu Kush mountains, between Dir and Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is operated by the National Highway Authority and carries traffic on the N-45 National Highway, thus bypassing Lowari Pass. Construction was partly completed by June 2017, By late 2018, the tunnel was open to vehicular traffic for at least ten hours per day.

The total cost of the tunnel was ₨26.954 billion (US$170 million).The tunnel is one of the longest tunnels in South Asia, and is the longest in Pakistan, superseding the 3.91 km (2.43 mi) Khojak Tunnel in 2018.
