The efforts and endiavors that an individual makes to prosper himself, are indirectly linked to other peoples, for example, if someone makes efforts to earn money, the source where from he earned will also be benifited naturally or you may say automatically.



This is the short story of a man (Samad Gul) recently EDO retired"sacrificed his life to spread education amongst peoples within the reach, specially Chitral. Starting from a norrow but naturally rich village of Dist Chitral Lotkoh (Mogh), he received his early education in crutial economic and social conditions of that time, may be within 1945 to 55, than joined Army. This position was not acceptable to the fate and he finally joined the Holy profession "Teaching". He served more than 20 year in chitra and lotkoh chitral. These early stages of his educational profession were very difficult task to him. The task was to educate people within there on resources, and pushing the society towards civilzed and harmoneous path. During this endounting efforts there may have some loopholes arisen, but those are acceptable. At the most target has been achieved, his dream to make a civilized society gets fulfilled. His dream was not only related to himself but to other peoples to whom he really devoted himself. All the people of Lotkoh "Garamchashma" abliged to him for his achievement in favour of the poor society of Garamchashma.Due to his brilliant efforts he has been promoted many times by the Government. recently he was serving as an EDO Chitral District. He is no more on the post now but his efforts would be the lessson to others.



May he flourish for the rest of his life

Welcome to the Garam Chashma google satellite map! This place is situated in Chitral, N.W.F.P., Pakistan, its geographical coordinates are 35° 59' 42" North, 71° 33' 32" East and its original name (with diacritics) is Garam Chashma. See Garam Chashma photos and images from satellite below, explore the aerial photographs of Garam Chashma in Pakistan.

Garam Chashma, Lutkho Valley


Located North West of Chitral town, close to Afghan Border. Used to be HUGE trading point for Lapis Lazuli. Yields Aquamarine with some of the deepest blues available. Different mines at different altitudes. Upper one produces the deepest blues. Still relatively unknown location (even among Peshawar sellers!), as local Aquas are usually labelled as coming from Chitral without more precision.Large garnets (probably almandine), tangerine to fist-size aren't uncommon.Tourmaline production is very limited, rather small brownish to black crystals embedded in hard matrix.

Garam Chashma Chitral

At the distance of almost 2 hours, is located the ancient valley of Injigan, nowadays Garam Chashma, and could be approached by a jeep, car etc. but better to be inside an open jeep to enjoy the scenic beauty enroute to the area while visiting the challenging and breath taking rocky spires of Shoghore (A village), and if one has the guts then some rock climbing could be done in the area, as it has become one of the favorite spot for rock climbing after the training camps of Adventure Foundation Pakistan for a couple of years.Garam Chashma, famous for its hot springs and the water is perceived for centuries, as a natural medication to cure the skin disorders and maladies, therefore the valley is visited by local tourists as well as foreign during the season. Overnight stay at the valley could be one of the most amazing experiences while enjoying the serenity and peacefulness of the area, especially the beauty of the mountains and landscape may enchanter you. Don’t forget to obtain a permit from the fisheries department of Chitral before leaving for the valley, if you are interested in doing some angling in the Garam Chashma river and want to taste the trout.There are hotels, restaurants where some Afghani rice is offered with some vegetables but when I make an excursion to the area I prefer to stay at hotel Injigan, with a nice hot swimming pool, and the prices are also plausible
