Bumborate, Chitral, PakistanIf you have read my GoWH-I post, you might remember that I had mentioned the existence of ethnic greek colonies in Pakistan and I had promised to get back with more info. These tribes are called the Kalash people. They live in the Chitral valley in Northwest Pakistan. These tribes claim to be the direct descendants of Alexander's army. They have their own religion and culture. More about them here.
You can find really colourful pictures of these people and their beautiful valley here. Pakistan has some really gorgeous valleys in the HinduKush range.
But my first ambition is to tour all the gorgeous locales in India and then venture abroad if ever :-( Lets see if this ever gets fulfilled :-D
Kehte hain na girgit ki daud baadh tak :-D
