Hotel Hindukush Heights

Around 10km north of Chitral Town, this hotel sets itself apart by more than just location. Owned by the former mehtar's family, it's something of a boutique offering. Spacious rooms are beautifully decorated in Chitrali style, complementing the tremendous mountain views around every corner. Service is immaculate, and the restaurant worth the effort of getting here (call in advance). Popular with tour groups, so reservations in summer are recommended. A jeep hire from town is Rs500.
