Shandur Pass is one of the four major mountain passes to enter Chitral. The other three passes are:
• Dorah Pass from Badakshan in Afghanistan,
• Lowari Pass from Dir
• Broghol Pass from the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan.
The height of this pass is 3738 m above sea level. It connects Gilgit with Chitral. The top is a flat gradual gradient & is open from April to November.
Every year there is a Polo match played on Shandur Top between a team from Chitral and a team from Gilgit.
