Shandur Top (el. 12,200 feet (3,700 m)) located in District Ghizer, Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan. Shandur-Top in Shandur is often called the 'Roof of the World'. The top is flat, a plateau and can be crossed between late April and early November. The grade is very gradual, and the area is crossed by small streams of trout. Grazing in summer is plentiful.
Every year there is a polo match played on Shandur Top between the home teams of Gilgit-Baltistan and guest teams from Chitral.
Shandur Pass is one of the major mountain passes between Chital and Gilgit-Baltistan
The people who live on both sides of Shandur Top speak the Khowar language
