Shandur Festival had been celebrated regularly since 1980 and had gained international fame attracting thousands of local and foreign tourists annually. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, no sporting event had been organized in Phandar Valley since 2020.
The ‘freestyle polo’ is exclusively played in Gilgit Baltistan and Chitral.
