Just a correction: Dir is not a part of Chitral, but a neighboring district. See map:

You should maybe change title of thread to Dir and Chitral

And another little correction: You have added a picture of Shyok River, Khaplu, Skardu. It is actually situated in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Anyway you are doing a fabulous job. Love your pictures. Keep posting
