Things to do in Dir District & The Lowari Pass

  1. Chakdara Museum

    Chakdara Museum is at the village's main intersection. Exhibits include well-preserved Buddhist statuary, carved columns and lintels from an old Swat mosque, and an ethnographic section with embroidery and lots of jewellery. Sadly, the captions are rather dismal and it is a poor relation to the excellent Swat Museum in Saidu Sharif.

  2. Palace

    The former Palace, occasionally occupied by royal offspring, sits high on a hill outside the town.

  3. Bazaar

    The Bazaar is fascinating and rough-edged - a local handicraft speciality is pocket knives.
