Overview

The Kalash Valleys of Rumbur (32 km), Birir (34 km), and Bumburet (the largest and most beautiful) is 36 km away from Chitral in the Khyber Pakhtunkuwa Province. The 3000 remaining Kalash people of the valleys live in unique houses made of local stone and wood which are stacked on top of one another against the hills so the roof of the lower house is the veranda of the upper. Kalash people celebrate many colorful festivals throughout the year. But the three main Kalash Festivals are Chilam Joshi (spring festival), Uchal (summer festival), and Choimus (winter festival).

Kalash Spring Festival (Chilam Joshi) is one of the most awaited festivals in Kalash. The people organize Chilam Joshi festival to honor and praise their God. The Kalash people welcome spring with gratitude and hope for blessings from their deity. During the Chilam Joshi Festival, the community and the elders emphasize the most on purity of the people so when the Balomain visit the valley, the Kalasha followers must have a pure mind. People take ritual baths a week prior to the festival. During the purification ceremony a men must not sit all day and later at night his face is sprinkled with the blood of a sacrificed goat. Men actively participate in the cooking during this festival. Men bake special bread and distribute it in the three valleys of Kalash. The event is followed with singing and dancing during the festival. The young men and women dance together and find themselves spouses during this event. They announce the names of their partners at the end of the event.
