Events / September - October
Birir Valley · Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
The autumn festival celebrated only in Birir, the smallest and most secluded of the three Kalasha valleys.
Pul (also Pho) closes the agricultural year in Birir with rituals led by community elders.
Pul is not celebrated in Bumburet or Rumbur. Travellers who reach Birir see the most secluded of the three valleys and a festival tied entirely to local elders' calendar.
Plan at least four nights in the Chitral region to do justice to Birir, Rumbur, and Bumburet without rushing sacred days.
April
One of Chitral's oldest spring gatherings, polo, paragliding, and mountain culture on the Qaqlasht plateau.
April - May
Pine-forest spring fairs on the ridge above Islamabad, cool air, walking tracks, and the first escape from the plains heat.
May
The Kalasha spring festival, milk stored for days, processions, and group dancing at the Charso grounds in Bumburet.
