Royal visit Pakistan: William and Kate arrive in Chitral

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, on the third day of their tour of Pakistan on Wednesday reached serene valley of Chitral on a helicopter while observing the famous and beautiful Hindu Kush mountain range.

The royal couple is scheduled to visit Chiatibo Glacier to see devastating effects of climate change and witnessing the impact of flash flooding on local villages in Chitral valley. Later, the British prince and his wife will pay a visit to Kalash village.

The couple’s full slate of engagements on Wednesday follows an equally-busy second day of the tour, which included a visit to a girls’ school in Islamabad to highlight higher education for girls, meetings with President Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan, and attending a "glittering reception," which was hosted by British High Commissioner Tom Drew at the National Monument.
