Introducing Chalt
Chalt sits in a bowl at the mouths of two large valley systems, the only part of Nagyr north of the river. Chaprot Valley is probably the most beautiful nala close to the KKH in the NA. Safdar Ali, mir of Hunza at the time of the British invasion, said Chalt and Chaprot were ‘more precious to us than the strings of our wives’ pyjamas’. Excellent treks start here and in the Bar Valley; see Lonely Planet’s Trekking in the Karakoram & Hindukush for further details on these and other treks.

From the KKH, a well-maintained road crosses the river and runs 3km to Chalt, a small bazaar with shops, a post office and a telephone exchange.
