Good morning guys from Pakistan we are right now in Ayun, in the north-west of
Pakistan but we are leaving Ayun and we are going to Kalash valley because
there is a festival and we travel to Pakistan because of Kalash Festival
I am so excited to meet the ancient ethnic group of Kalash
Our journey starts by driving through the Ayun Village, which we explored in the previous video
we only have a twenty kilometres drive but as you can see the roads are not the best
So, it will take us at least two hours to reach our destination
I can't believe that we just crossed that bridge. it is so scary
you know as soon as we crossed police stopped us to pay the fees
If you are a tourist you should pay 600 Pakistani rupees per person to enter Kalash Valley
Thank you, Bye
Now we are here in the main entry point of Kalash Valley, from on our left we are going to Bumburet
just now we will go and on the right side we have Rumbur, where we are going to stay tonight
This is the main road locals use for their daily lives
it is the only way they can access health facilities
Life can be difficult in this part of the world, but they never stop appreciating their lives
Our first stop is the Kalash Graveyard, maybe not the happiest place on Earth, but it is quite special
The Kalash used to leave bodies here without burying them
but they later started to do so, probably to prevent diseases from spreading
They also bury personal belongings and leave the bed and pillow at the grave
They don’t take them back because they believe evil spirits would come back home
Red flag or the new flag means that dead body or the grave is new
somebody has died recently
It is so so weird to see humans bones and it is just a bit creepy, I would say. I don't like to see that
Kalash people like other Pakistanis are famous for their hospitality
One of the highlights of our day is here
I am overwhelmed by how welcoming everyone is
I live in England but I am Italian
I like Pakistani food, it is a bit spicy, but I like it
now it's time to have lunch. who wouldn't want to have food in this beautiful place?
we were sitting outside and the rain started and we have to move inside for lunch
Apparently, it is not common to rain all the time in Pakistan
But, you know wherever I go rain follows me
chicken karahi, this is bhindi, this is Pakistani Dal. my favourite dish was the Dal I loved it
we are back on the road to get to Rumbur, another Kalash village where we are staying for 4 days
We are on a bumpy road on a narrow road without seatbelts
Health and safety here is zero. If it falls it is done
We are worried about having no seatbelts but look at them
the road is getting worse and worse and because of the flood some part of the road
is closed now we are walking to check the road out to see if we can go
by car, if not then probably we should leave the car here and walk to the village
Our car didn’t get very far
We are leaving the car and walking with all of our stuff
Oh is here that's why we can't bring the car and we have to walk
Oh my god but I can see a track of bikes I don't know how they can do this so dangerous
It is getting worse
Our host, Engineer Khan, is here to rescue us
Oh wait, he is here just for our luggage
Tonight, we are going to sleep here This is the local home
Engineer Khan is Engineer by name but not by profession, he calls himself mushe-mushe
What Mushe Mushe means?
Mushe is the one can do everything
