The three remote valleys are home to the Kalash. The little home stay in Rumboor is right on the edge of a raging torrent. The setting is incredible with mountains as a backdrop. The valley has rich soils but is vulnerable to flash flooding. They grow walnuts, apricots, beans, maize, wheat, grapes, pears, peach, apple, mulberry, fig and more. They then store food for the winter when the valleys become inaccessible for three months. The people are ‘pagan’ or ‘animist’ and their traditions and culture are under threat from the ever enclosing Muslim populace. They have a very distinctive style of attire and many are pale skinned and blue or green eyed. Perhaps a vestige of Alexander the Great’s forays into the area. They are also known as black Kaffirs (non-believers). ‘The Kalash people are a small (around 4000 people) religious and ethnic minority of Pakistan. The Kalash religion is polytheistic faith similar to paganism and ancient forms of hinduism and the people offer sacrifices for their gods. Their culture is interlinked with their religion and includes several unique festivals and celebrations.
