“It is the unemotional, reserved, calm, detached warrior who wins, not the hothead seeking vengeance and not the ambitious seeker of fortune.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Shandur - The Spirit of Polo
Polo of Shandur, set against the backdrop of the Hindu Kush and Hindu Raj Ranges is a pursuit of chivalry. Deep in the mountains of Northern Pakistan, an entire community pursues the ideal of sportsmanship in the game of Polo. Traditionally reserved for royalty, the freestyle Polo played at Shandur involves all levels of individuals across the society. The passion of the people of Chitral and Gilgit for the game represents the ‘good life’ for freedom, beauty and excellence.
A deep love is expressed by everyone associated with it. It is a love that seeks the unbridled freedom of open spaces, unbounded by rules and customs that seek to structure everyday life. It is this love that makes space for the game - a dance between humans, mountains, horses, and music.
