Description
The Choimus Festival in Kalash Valley is a unique celebration of the Kalash people, with a blend of traditional rituals, music, dance, and vibrant costumes. This 7-day tour promises not just cultural immersion, but also breathtaking views of the valleys and mountains of the Hindukush range.
During the festival, you can expect to witness religious ceremonies, folk music, and dances, all while interacting with the local Kalash community. The valley's distinctive traditions and rich cultural heritage make it a truly special destination.
You’ll also get to explore the charming villages of the Kalash, where life remains largely traditional and untouched by modernity. The region is remote and serene, offering a peaceful retreat in the middle of nature's beauty.
