Chitral from 15th Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica published in 1985 Chitral, town, district, and former princely state, Malakand Division, North-West Frontier Province, Pakistan. The town and district headquarters of Chitral (Chitrar, or Qashqar) is on the Kunar River in a valley two miles (three kilometers) wide. At an elevation of about 4,900 ft (1,490 m) above sea level, the town has a government woolen and agriculture center, the Maghor (the fort of the former mehtar [chief]), a polo ground, and fruit gardens in the neighborhood. It is accessible via Dir and the Lowarai Pass (10.230 ft; and via Gilgit and the Shandur Pass (12,251 ft), and it is linked with Peshawar by air.

The valley was conquered by the Chinese in the 1st century ac and ruled by them for several centuries. The people, converted to Islam in the 11th century, are members of the Isma'ili sect. The Mehtar (Prince) house. claiming descent from the Mughal emperor Babur, was founded in the 11th century. The practice of deriving income from the sale of Chitrali women, known for their beauty, in Peshawar and Afghanistan made Chitral a center for slave traders. In 1889 the British established a subsidiary agency at Mastuj for Chitral and maintained a garrison there until Pakistani independence in 1947. Khowari, the language of the Khos, the dominant tribe, is the lingua franca. The Chitralis are fine horsemen, and polo is the national game.

Chiral District, occupying an area of 5,'134 sq mi ( 14,85 I sq km), is bounded on the north and west by Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush mountain range, on the south by Dir and Kilam in the Swat Kohistan, and on the east by the Gilgit Agency. The Wakhan corridor separates it from the Tadzhik Soviet Socialist Republic. A scenic region of lofty ranges (Tirich Mir; 25,229 ft [7,690 ml.]), fertile valleys, and rich pine forests, it is drained by the Kunar River, which rises in the Hindu Kush, flows southwestward into Afghanistan (there called the Daryd-ye Konar), and joins the Kabul River just east of Jalalabad, after a 300-mi (480-km) course. Wheat, barley, corn (maize), and rice are the chief crops; walnuts, grapes, apricots, and mulberries are also grown. Minerals (iron ore, lead, copper, manganese, and antimony) are abundant but considered too remote to exploit. Daggers, sword hilts, and embroidered cloth are exported. Pop. (1972) town, 13,376; (1981 prelim.) district, 208,000.
