Qaqlasht plateau, Upper Chitral, Pakistan, transforms into velvet green carpet interspersed with tiny yellow flowers after early spring sweeps through the valley.

Qaqlasht plateau attracts thousands of visitors during spring. Traditional sports and cultural events are organised, featuring freestyle polo, football, volleyball, folk music and poetry sessions.

The Qaqlasht plateau is located about 80 km north of Chitral town. The Qaqlasht festival is held here every year in April, with the old age festival of the people of northern Chitral having a history of more than 2000 years.
