Drosh Fort

Drosh Fort

Drosh Fort, perched on a cliff along Chitral River was the center of the Chitral – Mehtar leadership battle. When the Ruler of Chitral suddenly died, his sons began infighting, starting from the treasury and armory at Drosh Fort. Then, Umara Khan of Dir tried annexing more territory over the Lowari Pass. The British could not have any of this and in 1895, send an expedition to install a ruler of their choice.
