Birir Valley: The third Kalash valley, Birir, lies approximately 34 kilometers from Chitral and is accessed via a distinct route, separate from those leading to Bumburait and Rumbur. It is the least populated of the three valleys in terms of the Kalash community but is renowned for its deep connection to ancient Kalash culture. Picture Birir
Birir is characterized by its terraced fields, flowing streams that support agriculture and green energy initiatives, and its treasure trove of authentic old Kalash architectural heritage. The valley also features various cultural landmarks that showcase its rich traditions. Surrounded by towering mountains and dense forests, Birir offers a serene environment and ecological richness that appeals to nature enthusiasts.
Due to limited accommodation options, most tourists visit Birir during the day. However, those seeking an unfiltered experience of Kalash culture often prefer this valley for its purity and authenticity. Historically, travelers could journey between Birir and Bumburait via an old, scenic track, adding a touch of adventure to their exploration of these valleys.
