The park also has an amazing collection of birds including bearded vulture, Himalayan vulture, golden eagle, demoiselle crane, peregrine falcon, snow partridge, and rock partridge.

WHERE TREES ARE AWE INSPIRING
Whilst driving on the way to the top you can’t miss the magnificent 300-year-old Deodar Cedar tree named Chaghbini by the locals. According to the locals the name Chaghbini means ‘resting under the shade’ in the local language, Khowar, and can be traced back to a time when local labourers used to bring snow from the mountain top to the Chitral city and would rest under the shade of this huge Deodar tree on the way.
The park is a popular destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and wildlife enthusiasts due to its diverse landscape.
Chitral Gol National Park was established in 1984 with the aim of protecting the natural habitat of the area’s unique wildlife and plant species. The park was declared a protected area under the Pakistan Wildlife (Protection) Ordinance, 1979. It is now recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve due to its significance in preserving biodiversity.
