Chitral Gol National Park

Chitral Gol National Park is located at a distance of two hours’ drive from Chitral town. The park is also known as Chitral National Park.

Up until 1983, Chitral Gol was considered to be the private property of the former Mehtar of Chitral. The status of the park has been in dispute since and has become the issue of ongoing litigation between heirs of the former Mehtar and the Government of Pakistan.

The Birmoghlasht part of the park is where the former Mehtar’s Summer Fort is located. At the time of existence of the Chitral State, the Mehtar and his family use to move here in the summer and hold court. The fort was constructed in such a way that it overlooked the entire city. It stands at an elevation of over 2800 meters above sea level. It is a 40-minute drive from the main Chitral city. The best season to visit Birmoghlasht is the month of May and June. Spring season arises here in these months and there will be a lot of greenery and flowers in these two months
