Booni--a growing tourists destination in Northern Chitral


Booni--a village situating 75 kilometers to the north of Chitral town is a growing tourist destination with its hospitable and friendly people, cool orchards and fruit-ladden trees of apricot, mulberry, grapes and pear etc. Booni also offers a network of natural trails for the people of every age and interests. The famous free style polo is played twice a week and has already become a fascination for visitors and the general public in the village, who after tiresome works in the field and businesses just go to watch polo, which is c0mplemented by the music of reed instrument and victory dances on the part of the winning polo team and other folkdancers in the village.


Booni has also become a favourite launching and landing space for the paragliders. This sport has great potential in the future, should proper and seroius efforts be undertaken to make it popular at national and international level.
