History

{{Empty section|date=August 2015}}

Demography

Ethnically most residents are Khowar, and Gawar-Bati[5] is the language spoken by the majority of the people in Arandu. As Arandu has a low elevation and is the last village in Chitral District on the traditional trade route to Kabul, locally this language is also known as Aranduiwar.[6] Pashto, Urdu, and Khowar are also spoken and understood.

Geography

Arandu is located on the banks of the Landai Sin River (Bashgal River) just above its intersection with the Kunar River (Chitral River),[7] along the Drosh-Jalalabad Road. The Drosh-Jalalabad Road, including water traffic along the Kunar, used to be part of a major trade route from India to Kabul. Arundu is built on river benches that rise above the agricultural fields next to the two rivers. Arandu has an average elevation of {{convert|327|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}. The Lowari Range is across the Kunar to the north and west, while Mount Raskarla rises to {{Convert|2432|m|ft|0}} four kilometers to the east.

Climate

Arandu has the lowest elevation of any place in Chitral District[8] and maintains tropical weather during the summer and warmer temperatures than the rest of Chitral in winter. The winters are rainier than the summers. Its climate is classified as warm and temperate, and is listed as Csa by Köppen and Geiger.{{Citation needed|reason=Arundu seems cooler than Csa usually implies|date=May 2015}} The average annual temperature is 17.6 °C in arandu.
