Kalash girls in Bumboret, Chitral, Pakistan.


Ismail Sloan, the tall man, is standing between them. I am wearing a sheepskin coat which I purchased in Reykjavik, Iceland. The other man is a Kalash mountain goat herder who says that he almost shot me by mistake when I encountered him by night in the high mountains above Achulga Valley when I went to see the parents of Afiyat.

Would you like to speak to these girls? If so, here is my Kalasha-English Word List.

For questions about the origins of the Kalash people, see: Alexander the Great and the Kalash.

The Kalash speak the language of Kalasha. For the story of a Kalash girl, see: Afiyat, a beautiful Kalash girl.
