Hindukush Heights Hotel Chitral

HOTEL DESCRIPTION: Hindukush Heights is hotel and a travel company based in Chitral, northwestern Pakistan. As well the hotel and company owned a 100 years old fort and some high elevation camping grounds in the area. Being native to the area in which it operates, Hindukush Heights is able to offer programs with that essential local touch and flavor which is not easily matched by others. The company is owned by Siraj and Ghazala Ulmulk who's ancestors have ruled over this once generous mountain state for 700 years.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION: Hindukush Heights hotel is balanced on a hill just above the Chitral airport. From each of its 24 bedrooms you can see the daily PIA flights landing and taking off below. Each bedroom has a wooden balcony from where you get an un-interrupted view of the entire Chitral valley. The hotel got a grand opening when, on 29th September 1997, thirteen small aircrafts flew all the way from UK for its inauguration.
