Tehsil Mastuj starts right after the end of Baranis, Reshun, Kuragh, Buni, Aveer, Parwak, Mastuj, Chinar, Chuinj, Chapali, Brep, Bang and Meragram are the main areas of Tehsil Mastuj The Mastuj Valley in Chitral State is a part of the Hindu Kush Range, and is one of the structurally most complicated areas in northern Pakistan. Sedimentary rocks ranging from at least Middle Devonian to Cretaceous, and perhaps Early Tertiary age lie between ridge-forming granodiorite intrusions and are cut by thrust faults. The thrust planes dip 10? to 40? to the north- west. Movement of the upper thrust plates has been toward the southeast relative to the lower blocks.

If this area is structurally typical of the Hindu-Kush and Karakoram Ranges, then these mountains are much more tectonically disturbed than previously recorded, and suggest compression on a scale compatible with the hypothesis that the Himalayan, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush Ranges form part of a continental collision zone.

The thrust faults outline two plates consisting of distinctive sedimentary rocks. The lower thrust plate is about 3,000 feet thick and consists of the isoclinally folded Upper Cretaceous to perhaps lower Tertiary Reshun Formation. It has overridden the Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Chitral Slate unit. This thrust plate is, in turn, overridden by an 8,000-foot thick sequence consisting largely of Devonian to Carboniferous limestones and quartzites.

A key factor in the tectonic processes has been the relatively soft and plastic lithology of the siltstone layers in the Reshun Formation which have acted as lubricants along the principal thrust faults, where they are commonly found today as fault slices and smears.

The stratigraphic sequence, in the central Mastuj Valley was tentatively divided into 9 mapped units. The fossiliferous shales and carbonates of the recently defined Shogram Formation and the clastlcs of the Reshun Formation have been fitted into a sequence of sedimentary rocks that has a total thick- ness of at least 13,000 feet and ranges in age from Devonian to Neogene. Minerals of potential economic significance include antimony sulfides which have been mined elsewhere in Chitral, the tungstate, scheelite, which occurs in relatively high concentrations in heavy-mineral fractions of stream sands, and an iron-rich lateritic rock.

A large number of tourists visit Phandar Valley every year to enjoy the beautiful view of nature. PTDC, Phandar Rest Rest House, and various other hotels are existed here to provide accommodation facilities to visiting tourists.

The winding road from Gilgit to Chitral is traversed by many, but savored by few. Poplar-lined pathways, brilliant turquoise waters, hospitable Ismaili people; these are but a few of the reasons you should take your time along the road.

A plethora of villages line the way from Shandur Pass to Gilgit, but none are so picturesque as Phander (pronounced “fun-der”), a small village in the eponymous Phander Valley.

I meant to visit Phander for two or three days… and what began as two days turned into five nights! Every day, there was another reason to stay: new people coming to say hello and speak with me for hours, fishing excursions along Phander’s famous trout-filled waterways, motorbike adventures to nearby villages. I could’ve easily whiled away a few more days if my time wasn’t limited, and I know I’ll be back one day..
