Chitral (Urdu: چترال, Khowar: چھترار), also spelled Chetrar, translated as field, is the capital of the Chitral District, situated on the western bank of the Chitral River (also called Kunar River), Now in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It also served as the capital of the princely state of Chitral until 1969. The town is at the foot of Tirich Mir, the highest peak of the Hindu Kush, which is 25,289 ft (7,708 m) high. It has a population of 20,000. The elevation of the valley is 3,700 ft (1,100 m).
The entire region that now forms the Chitral District was a fully independent monarchy until 1895, when the British negotiated a subsidiary alliance with its hereditary ruler, the Mehtar, under which Chitral became a princely state, still sovereign but subject to the suzerainty of the British Raj. Chitral retained a similar status even after its accession to Pakistan in 1969, but was completely incorporated into Pakistan and became an administrative district of Pakistan in 1969.
Nothing definitive is recorded about the town's first settlers. In the 3rd century, Kanishka, the Buddhist ruler of the Kushan empire, occupied Chitral. In the 4th century, the Chinese overran the valley. Raees rule over Chitral began in 1320 and came to an end in the 15th century. From 1571 onwards Chitral was the dominion of the Kator Dynasty until 1969.

The park is also known as Chitral Gol National Park. The word Gol in the local language means 'round. Up until 1983, Chitral Gol was considered to be the private property of His Highness the Mehtar of Chitral.

I've mourned now
I've no energy to cry
It was only one hour ago when you said goodbye
Come on and tell me why your answers always stop?
When the questions fly
The empty bottles fly
The empty bottles fly
And they fall on shatterwall
They forgot he turned 16 the other day
He watched his dad walk out without a word to say
There he only fell apart
There's not much left to tell
And so now he's just a statistic waiting for mail
The empty bottles fly
The empty bottles fly
And they will fall on shatterwall
Shatterwall shatterwall
They're bound to fall shatterwall
Break, break that wall shatterwall
