Pakistan Travel Dir To Chitral KPK Motorcycle Ride via Lawari Pass. I am going for the Shandur Polo Festival. My travel was 1700 Km. My next video about Chitral to Gilgit. Dir is a town at an elevation of 4658 feet in Kpk Pakistan and Lowari Pass or Lowari Top 10,230 ft is a high mountain pass that connects Chitral with Dir in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Lowari Top is a relatively low pass, by far the lowest pass to enter Chitral, the rest all being 12,000 to 15,000 feet.
Lowari Top is closed by snow from late November to late May every year. During this time, jeeps cannot cross so men must travel by foot. This is dangerous, as there are high mountains on each side of Lowari Top, and a deadly avalanche can come at any moment without warning.
The Lowari Top is one of the four major mountain passes to enter Chitral. The others are the Dorah Pass from Badakshan in Afghanistan, Shandur Top from Gilgit, and Broghol from the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan.
Now The Lowari Tunnel was constructed beneath Lowari Pass & Tunnel is a 10.4 kilometers vehicular tunnel under the Lowari Pass of the Hindu Kush mountains, between Dir and Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. It is operated by the National Highway Authority and carries traffic on the N-45 National Highway, thus bypassing Lowari Pass. and will reduce the 14-hour drive between Chitral and Peshawar to only 7 hours. The tunnel will also facilitate all-weather transportation, as during the long winter season the Lowari Pass is closed, and travelers to and from Chitral have to travel into Afghanistan and then back into Pakistan to access the rest of the country. Unfortunately, the tunnel is closed today for the motorbikes due to several accidents and I have to go by Lawari pass.
