The valleys of Chitral are honored to welcome HH Prince Rahim Aga Khan.
For generations the Aga Khan family has stood as a symbol of hope, service, education and development in Chitral. From remote valleys to growing communities, their contributions have touched countless lives and created lasting opportunities for the people of this region.
This visit is not only a moment of joy for the Ismaili community of Chitral but also a proud and memorable occasion for all of Chitral.
Heartfelt congratulations to the Ismaili community on this blessed occasion. May this visit bring unity, peace, prosperity and renewed hope for the future of our beautiful region.

It is unfortunate to witness reckless driving on the lands of Qaqlasht.
Soon, this land will transform into vibrant green meadows, welcoming thousands for the Qaqlasht Festival.
Damaging it now is unacceptable.
Collective responsibility and firm action are urgently needed to protect this natural heritage.

King For One Day. A Unique Kalash Tradition 👑
In the Kalash Valley, Chitral a centuries old tradition is still practiced where one person is chosen as king for a single day, usually for winning a traditional game or showing exceptional skill, strength or bravery during community celebrations.
His orders are respectfully followed and he hosts a communal feast by sacrificing livestock, symbolizing generosity, equality and unity.
As the day ends, the kingship ends but the tradition lives on.
