Choosing a safe, comfortable, and economical way to travel is one of the most important things that a traveler must consider. For traveling to Chitral, you can choose from among car, bus, or plane.
Travel to Chitral by road
Rental cars: Firstly, tourists hire rental cars for traveling to Chitral which takes around 8 to 10 hours from Islamabad, 8 hours from Peshawar, and 14 hours from Gilgit.
The route from Peshawar is through Malakand and Lowari tunnel. Lowari tunnel is a very beautiful 10.4 KM pass constructed for providing little relief to travelers.
After reaching Chitral, tourists hire local cars for inter-city travel. The prices of these rental cars are usually high. Therefore, TourMover provides you with cheapest and best quality rental cars services to Chitral.

Traveling by bus consumes around 12 to 13 hours when all the passes are open. However, the roads and passes are mostly blocked in snowy weather.

Exploring the Kalash Valleys, Chitral
Regardless of which Kalash valley you’re going, you have to choose public transport. Jeeps from the center of Chitral, and shared taxis and local pickups from Ayun valley get you to Kalash valleys.
After TourMover rental car takes you to the center of Chitral, you must hire a jeep to go to any of these valleys. Jeep charges Rs.200-300 per person. The jeeps leave for the valleys once they’re full.
The second option is getting to Ayun valley which is at an hour distance from Chitral. Shared taxi costs Rs.100 per person and Rs.600 for the whole car for going to Ayun from Chitral. The mini-vans cost Rs.20 only from Chitral to Ayun.
From Ayun to Kalash valleys, tourists hire shared cars. These cost Rs.100 per person. The shared cars are usually found in the early morning or in the evening.
If you don’t want to share the car, you can hire it privately costing Rs.1000 to 1500. I remembered paying Rs.1200.
