Bumburet Valley

Bumburet Valley is located in  Lower Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is one of the three valleys of the Kalash and is a very lush and green place. It can be reached by a journey of about two hours from Chitral. The Kalash natives consider themselves descendants of Alexander the Great and trace their origin to Greece.

Among the three main Kalash valleys, Bumburet is the largest and most accessible. Its turquoise streams, terraced fields, and orchards of apples, apricots, and walnuts make it a paradise for nature lovers. Traditional wooden homes climb the hillsides, while Kalash women in embroidered black robes and bead-adorned headpieces offer a living tapestry of this ancient culture.

Camping pods are also available there. The rent for two beds is Rs.3000/- per night and the rent for four beds is Rs.5000/- (as of early 2022).

Camping pods set up have facilities for solar power, water, a washroom, etc. There is also a kitchen and if anyone wants, they can bring their own items and cook in the kitchen themselves.

Tourists can book a camping pod online or by contacting the KPCTA through the official booking number: 0341-3135666. For assistance, travelers can also call the tourism helpline: 1422.
