Chitral National Park Chitral Gol National Park is one of the National Parks of Pakistan . It is located in Chitral District in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan beside the Chitral River , at a distance of two hours drive from Chitral town. The park is also known as Chitral National Park .Legal status Up until 1983, Chitral Gol was considered to be the private property of the former Mehtar of Chitral . The status of the park has been in dispute since and has become the issue of ongoing litigation between heirs of the former Mehtar and the Government of Pakistan .Parameters The way leading to the park is quite narrow and dangerous, yet more risky during the rainy days. It is located between 1450 metre and about 5000 metre above sea level . It has an area of 7750 hectares .Fauna This park includes three valleys. Several glaciers also lie in the park through which several springs make their way and ultimately form a stream which runs 18 kilometres . The cold water of this stream flows towards the east, into the River Chitral. The park is rich in trees particularly cedar trees. The park also serves to provide shelter to a vast bio-diversity , especially markhor , an endangered wild goat species. The subspecies, which are found in the park include the astor markhor . Despite a decline from over 500 to only around 200 individuals in the park during the 1980s, Chitral National Park still holds the largest population of the astor markhor in the world . Also present in the park in small numbers are the siberian ibex , ladakh urial , as well as the asian black bear . The snow leopard does not appear to be a permanent resident of the park, but is sometimes seen there. The tibetan wolf , red fox , yellow-throated marten and himalayan otter are all found in the park. Common birds in the park include, the bearded vulture , himalayan vulture , golden eagle , demoiselle crane , peregrine falcon , himalayan snowcock , himalayan monal , snow partridge and rock partridge .Weather The annual rainfall in its region is estimated to be 462 ml .
