The Kalash Valleys

We arrived in the Kalash Valleys, after a gruelling 14 hours of travelling, in the pitch dark unable to see the beautiful lush green valley, the steep sides covered in trees or the sheer drop off the side of the narrow rocky track on which we wound and bumped beneath huge overhanging rocks. We finally reached Bumburet, the largest of the three Kalash valleys, very tired, very dusty and very much in need of the 1.5 litres of homemade wine that accompanied our dinner.
