Events / August - September
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
A remote Wakhi mountain festival in upper Chitral, yak polo, buzkashi, horse sports, and high-altitude valley life.
Held in the far-flung Broghil Valley near the Afghan Wakhan, this festival showcases Wakhi culture through yak and horse polo, buzkashi, livestock displays, traditional food, music, and handicrafts at one of Pakistan's most isolated inhabited valleys.
Broghil sits above 3,800 m near the Wakhan corridor. Few travellers reach it, and the festival is a rare chance to see yak polo and Wakhi traditions in their own setting.
This is remote, high, and weather-dependent. Go with a specialist operator, acclimatise properly, and build in buffer days for road and pass conditions.
