Eight of us plan to climb in the area to the North West of Chitral during August. We've heard some rumours about trekkers being held up/murdered recently.
I would welcome any comments that people may have on the political situation in the area: Have you been to the area recently? Were there other trekkers/climbers in the area? Did you feel intimidated? etc.
I look forward to any replies (including suggestions for other sources of information). Cheers!

Dear Mr Legs
I did not go treking but spent some time in Chitral town
last year. It is an intimidating place - no doubt. I would
not like to have vetured much off the main street or out of
town. It is home to a lot of Afghani refugees who are
painfully poor and many people have guns. It is obligatory
to register with the police - but what value does that have.
Good luck
