Unbelievable Beauty & Culture Of Kalash Valley: A Scenic Adventure To The Hidden Gems Of Pakistan!
Join me as I travel to the beautiful and unique Kalash valleys in Pakistan for the first time. In this video, I explore the stunning landscapes, meet the friendly and welcoming Kalasha people, and immerse myself in their rich cultural traditions.
From crossing insane roads and bridges to visiting homes, learning about hair traditions, and trying apricot brandy, this journey showcases a side of Pakistan rarely seen.
Coming from a truly multicultural country, I can't imagine living anywhere that doesn't celebrate differences, and it was a real pleasure to see this side of Pakistan. A side I needed to learn about. Long may it continue.

I felt bad when you kinda invaded that house where the girl apparently seemed disturbed and uncomfortable but due to being too nice, she didn’t tell you to leave. This is an innocent minority community that tolerate disturbing behaviors with great patience. We also need to be respectful and responsible towards them and ask for their permission, only if they are 100% comfortable then we should go. I hope my comment is read by all those who are planning to visit there. Thanks

@@carriepatsalis thank you for clarifying. My judgement was based on a couple of complaints on social media from the people of Kalash. The lady that was complaining, said that a lot of tourists do not respect their boundaries. I am from Pakistan too, although not Kalashi, but I feel their concern and believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. I must also admit that their boundaries are mostly invaded by Pakistani due to the lack of education and awareness unfortunately. We as nation are a century behind from what is called “A civilized nation “

Apparently they are descendants of Greek armies when Alexander the Great arrived in the Subcontinent. Like how the Mongol army descendants ended up in Afghanistan.
