The Kalasha people have no written records about their ancestors and origins, but their oral history bears the marks of having Hellenic roots. There is no proven record. A legend is that Alexander the Great passed through this region and made a Hellenic outpost here during his great expedition to the Far East in the 4th century B.C. Apparently the charm of scenery pervaded by the fragrance of grapes and flowers enchanted many of his soldiers.
Today, the Kalasha people are an endangered language and culture community and have dwindled to less than 4,000 members. They are the last remaining ancient animist tribe who live in the wilderness of the northern Himalayan region of the Hindu Kush Mountains on the boarder of Pakistan with Afghanistan.
The Kalasha valleys of Bumburet (Mumuret), Rumbur (Rukmu) and Birir (Biriu) lie approximately 35 km south of Chitral town. Bumburet is the largest of the Kalasha valleys. With its sparkling streams, shady meadows, groves of mulberry, apricot and walnut trees, wide mountain vistas and yellow and green fields, it is thought by any to be the most beautiful.
