Lonely Planet review for Shandur Cup Polo Tournament
Shandur Cup Polo Tournament. The horsemanship is first rate, the reckless competitiveness of the riders is entertaining and the treatment of the horses is…well, these must be tough little ponies. The tournament dates from 1936, and has been an annual, heavily touristed event since 1989. Most sizable travel agencies in Gilgit and Chitral and a number of national agencies now have package tours, and their own Shandur encampments, for the event.
