Lowari Tunnel consists of two separate tunnels, and the combined length of both tunnels is 10.5 km approximately. It is a vehicular tunnel under the Lowari Pass of the Hindu Kush mountains, between Dir and Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
In January 2017, after heavy snowfall , over 50 jeeps took on the curvy and treacherous road in the second Lowari snow jeep rally competition where the contestants exhibited excellent driving skills in the Lowari Pass.
Syed Azaz Shah of Islamabad 4x4 Jeep Club won the 37-kilometre rally while Taimoor Ali of Frontier 4x4 Jeep Club, Peshawar, ended up as runner-up in the competition.
Five jeep clubs participated in the rally which also included Main Machine 4x4 Club of Lahore, Chitral 4x4 Jeep Club and Afford and Adventure 4x4 Jeep Club, Peshawar.
The event attracted a good number of people who had to go through snow on foot to reach Qulandi as private cars were not allowed to go to the area. The race started from Qulandi area of Upper Dir and passed through the Lowari Tunnel to Ziarat in Chitral and ended back in Qulandi.
This section of Dir-Chitral road has received over feet of snow so far. The road was closed by the heavy snowfall and bulldozers of army’s engineering corps cleared the unpaved track of snow to make it usable for the jeep rally.
The rally presented a spectacular view as jeeps raced on the track nestled in lofty snow-clad mountains. This was the second consecutive year that the snow jeep rally was organized.
Opening Lowari tunnel has facilitated the people of the area.
