On This Day

Historic Visit of the Aga Khan to Upper Chitral

In local community history, this day marks the culmination of the historic first visit of Mawlana Hazar Imam, Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V, to the remote region of Upper Chitral. Local communities from both Sunni and Ismaili backgrounds spent weeks preparing the infrastructure, planting trees, and designing massive welcome inions on the cliffs of the mountains.
