Experience Kalash Valley: Ancient Culture & Hospitality

A trip to Chitral is not complete without a visit to one of the three Kalash valleys (Bhumburet, Rhumbur, Birir). A day trip to the Kalash Valley of Bhumburet can be arranged by Hindukush Heights to meet with an ancient pagan tribe that is now highly endangered. Only some three thousand inhabitants of this tribe remain.

 

The Greeks claim that this tribe is descended from Alexander the Great’s army. You will visit with Kalash families in their homes, holy temple and museum; while strolling through their valley and enjoying their generous hospitality.
