The status of the park has been in dispute since and has become the issue of ongoing litigation between heirs of the former Mehtar and the Government of Pakistan.

Several glaciers also lie in the park through which several springs make their way and ultimately form a stream which runs 18 kilometres.

The park also serves to provide shelter to a vast bio-diversity, especially markhor, an endangered wild goat species.

At the time of existence of the Chitral State, the Mehtar and his family use to move here in the summer and hold court.

Besides the fort Birmoghlasht also houses a wildlife hut and is a great tourist spot in a few kilometres drive from Chitral town.
