Chitral Valley

Reviewed By landinow - Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan

I visited chitral city and kalash(boomboraat)and was stunned to see its calm tranquility and beauty. The roads to kalash are for tractor only as cars and jeeps frequently broke on it. The beautiful costumes of kalash women and thier dances are awesome.the flora of chitral is breathtaking to see.i didnt like the local cuisine,thanks God that other kpk cuisine were available. The chugha(emboreidery jackets)can be bought in chitral city for 10000rupees. The people of chitral are humble and loving.the kalash drink a whisky made from mulberry fruit. Chitral is a place to go again and again.

Bumburet Valley

Reviewed By 436kazia - Orlando, United States

This is the main kalash valley, & the biggest one, it is about 2 hours from Ayun Village by jeep or 3.5 hours from Chitral. The road to the Valley is dirt/rocky & jeepable with narrow turns at some places. Once you reach the valley it opens up & is beautiful with river running on one side & lusg green fields/high mountains /fruit trees & alpine trees. There is a good Museum about Kalash culture, it charges minimal Rs. 5 for Pakistani & Rs.2000 for Non pakistani, & also charges extra to take pictures. PTDC motel is the BEST option IF one intends to stay over night which offers clean rooms & good food. Unfortunately due to the invasion of NON LOCALS with beards the Kalash culture is under severe threat & is hanging by a thin thread. Kalash people are very open & welcoming, there are several gift shops in the valley which sells very colourful & Beautiful local hand made handicraft at very reasonable price. There is a temple as well as well as centuries old grave yard worth seeing, as well as typical Kalash homes are worth seeing. HIGHLY RECOMMED to go visit BEFORE THIS CULTURE WHICH IS FOUND NO WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD DISAPPEARS.
