There can't be many guest houses with a view to match this one. Chitral Guest House stands on Bunni Road in Dannin, along the Shandur Mastuj Road, directly facing the mighty Tirich Mir, and simply stepping outside puts one of the great peaks of the Hindu Kush in front of you. For travellers who've made the long journey into Chitral, that setting alone justifies the stop. The rooms are ready for the mountain climate, with beds, mattresses, attached bathrooms and geysers delivering the hot water that's non-negotiable once the temperature drops up here. Wi-Fi keeps guests connected in a valley where that isn't always a given, and there's parking on site for those arriving by road over the passes. Nightly rates sit between PKR 7,000 and PKR 9,500, fair value given the location and the comforts on offer. It suits explorers, trekkers and anyone drawn to this remote corner of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a warm and practical base from which to take in the scenery, rest between journeys and wake up to that unforgettable view of Tirich Mir.
