SHAHI MASJID-CHITRAL
“The Shahi Masjid is believed to have been built by Shujaul Mulk who was made Mehtar of Chitral in 1895 by the British government. He is believed to have built many mosques and fortresses in Chitral including the Shahi Mosque. The three-domed mosque is said to have been built in 1914. Two minarets were added later on. The distinctive feature of the mosque is the stucco work, which decorates every space of the mosque inside and outside. The main gate of the mosque, which opens on the south, is also decorated with stucco. The main features of the stucco decoration are the geometric and floral designs. The mosque has no parallel in terms of architecture in the whole of Chitral District.”

K2 THE HARDEST WAY
An image created using satellite measurements shows the expedition’s key camps along K2’s North Ridge route, which follows the steep fin of rock and snow to the so-called Japanese Couloir, a gorge just below the summit. The route was first scaled in 1982, by a Japanese expedition. K2 takes its name from the 1856 survey notes of British explorer T. G. Montgomerie: “K” for Karakoram, a subrange of the Himalaya, and “2” for the second peak he noted on the horizon.
