[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Shandur Top (el. 12,200 ft.) is a high mountain pass that connects Chitral to Gilgit in Pakistan.

The top is flat, a plateau and can be crossed between late April and early November. The grade is very gradual, and the area is crossed by small streams of trout.

Every year there is a polo match played on Shandur Top between a team from Chitral and a team from Gilgit.

Shandur Top is one of the four major mountain passes to enter Chitral. The others are Dorah Pass from Badakshan in Afghanistan, Lowari Pass from Dir, and Broghol from the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan.

The people who live on both sides of Shandur Top speak the Khowar language.

I am surprised too see this ground at this altitude. And indeed a good composition

Hey Kamran,

An impressive shot. Great foreground, and and imposing bacgkround, a nice portrayal of your culture I must say. The colors are just perfect, so is the sharpness.

See you around.

Hello Kamran,

Really interesting place, beautiful sky, great colours...
Looking at your photos I think Pakistan is a beautiful country...unfortunately so dangerous as for now...:(

Best greetings
Mikeo

Hi Kamran, really interesting picture, good combination of nature and daily life... I just think that maybe the sky occupies lots of space without having much to add to the scene, so I made a workshop just to cut it and see what results, hope you don´t mind. Chau chau,

Maria
