Starting Location
A refreshed 4-day Chitral sequence — Qaqlasht Meadows on day two while you're fresh, then the full Kailash immersion on day three. The high-altitude plateau's sweeping views of Buni valley make for an unforgettable morning, and the Kailash valleys reward an unhurried afternoon. Tirich Mir glows above Ayun Fort every evening.
