Chitral
is open from July to September, and has been crossed as
late as early in November.
Chitral is an important state by reason of its
situation at the extremity of the country over which
the Government of India exerts its influence. Sir
Francis Younghusband has described this state as
" one of the chinks in the wall of defense. Not a
the very large one, but certainly capable of being made
into a considerable one if we do not look after it, and
in time; for not only is there a chink just here, but
the wall is thinner too. Practicable roads across the
mountains, especially those by the Baroghil and Dorah
passes, lead into Chitral; while the width of the
mountains from the plains on the south to the plains
on the north, as the crow flies, is 400 miles by the
Pamirs and Gilgit, but through Chitral only 200. So
Chitral is a place to be looked after and efficiently
guarded."Many Hippies(freaks). were helped by the Manager of Tirich Meer hotel Chitral...., along with Bakshish' FREE .....of many clouds of smoke, he also arranged free rides on Trucks to go to Gilgit, Swat Dir, etc,,in all directions,, while the rich Tourists were stuck in Chitral Due to weather,, and nonavailability of Flights Ordinary Foreigners relied on Good Human beings of Chitral.
