Chitral River

Course

The river rises in the far north glaciated Hindu Kush mountains of Chitral, Pakistan, where it is referred to as Chitral River. Around 60% to 70% of annual discharge of Kunar River originates from Chitral. Downstream as far as the town of Mastuj, it is called as the Mastuj River, until its confluence with the Lotkoh River. The river then turns southwards into the upper Kunar Valley of Afghanistan. At Asadabad, it meets with Pech River and finally empties into the Kabul River just to the east of the city of Jalalabad in Afghanistan. The combined rivers then flow eastwards into Pakistan again, and joins the Indus River at the city of Attock.
