Shandur Pass
Highest Polo Ground • Mountain Lake • Summer Festival
Discover Shandur Pass
A green plateau at 3,700 m between Ghizer and Chitral, with a lake, the highest polo ground in the world and a legendary July festival.
Experience Shandur, a high plateau of grass, water and endless horizons. Every July, the freestyle polo festival between Gilgit and Chitral brings the plateau to life with music, horses and a village of tents. Outside the festival, Shandur is peaceful and wide open, ideal for camping beside Shandur Lake under brilliant night skies.
