Frequently asked questions
Where exactly is Shahzore Lake located?
It sits at the very end of Upper Kumrat Valley on the border of Upper Dir and Chitral. The lake acts as the primary origin point for the Panjkora River
What is the altitude of the lake?
The lake rests at an elevation of approximately 11,400 to 11,900 feet (around 3,500–3,600 meters) above sea level
How do I reach the starting point of the trek?
You must travel by road to Thal village in Upper Dir, and then hire a 4x4 jeep to reach Dojanga (the last jeepable point in the Kumrat Valley)
Are there any accommodation or food facilities at the lake?
No. There is only 1 shephard hut midjourney but the area is entirely wild and untouched with no hotels, shops, or cellular service. Hikers must pack all self-sustaining dry rations, water filters, and camping equipment.
Can I cross over to Chitral from this route?
Yes. The lake sits right before the Thallo Pass (Thalo Zom), a demanding multi-day alpine pass that advanced trekkers use to cross over directly into the Sor Laspur / Bashqar Gol area of Upper Chitral.
