Who are the Kalash People in Pakistan? | Travel Documentary
In this video, we are travelling to a lesser-known place on planet Earth, a remote valley in Pakistan, an area where the ancient group of Kalash lives. There are less than 4000 Kalash people left in the world, and we are going to celebrate and dance with them at their annual Kalash festival.

The Kalasha Valleys are valleys in Chitral District in northern Pakistan. The valleys are surrounded by the Hindu Kush mountain range. The inhabitants of the valley are the Kalash people, who have a unique culture, language and follow a form of ancient Hinduism.
They are not Hindu They are kalash….. that’s what their religion is called, and that’s what their identity is
Ye there traditiona and dress culture seems very close to bharat totally opposite of islamic, ohh pura pakistan me bhi to bhartiya culture tha islamic to tha hi nahi phele
@@user-Rayyan123 They follow an ancient form of hinduism. Hinduism is quite diverse.

Congratulations to Kalash people, who are determined to keep their tradition and religion. As far as the rest of us, we must have some respect for people that struggle to keep up with difficulties. They are different but precious. Unesco has proven this, accepting all their ways and protect them. The Alexander the Great's tradition is still alive. Let's keep it this way!
they have no relation to alexandr the great
@EXTREME there is no such a think called Indoareans !the Kalash people are decendands of the men of Alexander the great!they deserted the army being fed up for being away from home and staying behind they got mixed with women of that area and had families eventually! it has been proved by unisef and other organizations that is so. But people like you choose not to see the truth i don't care why?
Dont worry, they are our people, we know how to protect them, do you have any mosques in Greece?
@@rickstorm8948 yes here have mosque
@EXTREME "In 2014, an article published in the journal Science, however, mentions a genetic study linking the DNA of the Kalashs to that of peoples who lived in the current territories of Germany and Austria between 990 and 210 BC. " wikipedia
Prayers with Kalash people hope their vibrant ethnicity thrives!
So much peace and serenity can be felt even by watching the video 😌
I love the natural beauty fantastic gift by God to Pakistan please take care of this natural beauty we are all effected by clyment change grow more n more trees for our next generation ...
Mountausn were there before pakistan. its a gift to the local people
A good contribution made to explore the knowledge about the minority people living in very remote places where still such people have preserved their culture. Thanks for the availability of such video.
What is the tool for measure to specifically mention this word"minority"? What is minority? All mankind are equal. Locality and languages only different. Their lifestyle, habits are depend weather condition of that particular region.

Thank you Mansoureh for showing Kalash beauty. I am really inspiring from your videos and planning to visit the area in July August in coming year.

Thank you for sharing this lovely video Mansoureh! From DC, Tony. God Bless.
Thanks for watching 😊
@@mansoureh you are very welcome!!Happy Spring, soon!!
I just found you looking for kalash people as I wanted to know more about them ( I am planning to go visiting Pakistan as soon as it will be possible). I simply loved your video! Brava! 👏🏻 I am a travel youtuber as well and for me finding good documentarists is pretty hard. Many people do “travel vlogs”, but they are not fine at all. The majority of them do not teach you anything, the rest are not good yet with the camera... 😕 so when I watch some travel videos I normally watch them very distractly. But your really caught my attention until the end. Brava!!!
There's this community in Assam, India called Kalita. I'm a Kalita myself. We were the first Aryans to ever come to the northeast of India and my ancestors were the first speakers of the assamese language ( the easternmost Indo-European language). While I was searching for some ancestry related topic of the Kalita community, I get to know that Assamese language shares some similarity with Kalasha language. Even the community names are quite similar Kalita & Kalasha. I'd really like someone to look further into it. Cheers !
I'm very interested and looking forward to learn more about the indo-Europeans.
@Ganjuri ganjuri yeah.... You are right....as we've been here for a long time, we definitely have intermixed with the local people (for over 2000 years). Yet some people have retained their original bloodline and they absolutely look European, I being a Kalita myself doesn't look European, people confuse me for Punjabi or Marwari. So yeah...for a community of people intermixing with people with different races will absolutely change their looks.
Klas people are not indo aryan but they are central asian like other tribes of Himalaya in j&k Himachal uttrakhand nepal. Klas in some Central asian language means people.

Good valley with people who respect their nature, culture and art, the results is beautiful. Religion is not supposed to separate us, not border to each other. Pakistan is not my list to visit oneday but I change my mind cause I saw this beautiful community and nature.
But most of the kalash forcefully converted in Islam
@@kundansinghrajput9722 The locals used to do that years ago but now Pakistan Army is incharge of the valley and they are safe. Our government isn't that much secular but Army surely is secular.

I sincerely hope this small and unique population of the Kalash people survive under the pressure of Islam to convert to its seventh-century ideology. I wish the Kalash the very best for the longevity of its culture and traditions.
they are already protected by the government and promoted. kalash "older "ideology isn't great when it comes to social issues.
Oh amazing. Awesome

This looks quite similar to Nepal's landscapes and culture. It seems the heritage of mountain people along the Himalayas all have a shared history.

Wow that region looks very beautiful and interesting: the landscape as well as the people ans their traditions. Women are beautiful dressed and seemed to have more freedom. To me it seemes sometimes that people all over the world who live in remote areas are more free and happly living with their customs in natural environment as in overcrowded cities with pollution. May they stay strong in their area and preserve their traditions!

Go & check DNA... Hun tribes from ancient India were located in this area. Kalas are their descents...!! These tribes, people of Afghanistan, KPK guys are essentially huns... They reared horses... produced best of the breeds. Later they converted to Baudh / Buddha... Today... all have been converted to Islam... This tribe Kalas remains non-muslims....

Many thanks!
Kalash people has direct connection to Rig vedic culture (which is the most ancient civilised culture to ever exist) with some matrilinial European genetics which is extremely ancient & unique, it's unfortunate that there are only 4k of them, hope they don't get converted by religious extremists.
Soon that 4k will be converted too.
And they're supposedly descendants of Alexander the great aswell!
Feel sorry for them Pakistan is full of Extremist vultures

Beautiful place.
READ PLEASE, I am tired of people arguing that they are greeks, they are nor Greeks nor Albanians neither Bulgarians, they are just an indoeuropean people from the indo-aryan branch who preserved their indoeuropean culture and religion, also it seems that they did not mix a lot with the locals, just search it, DNA studies confirm that, also their language is indo-aryan not greek nor Albanian. Obviously they have similar culture with the hellenic one because it is the same with ALL the indoeuropean cultures, their language is related to greek through the Indo-European connection. Also there can be some influences from the greek kingdoms that settled there after Alexander the great but they are not of greek descent, we can be asure of that with the help of the DNA studies, those phenotypes are common In Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and India.

@@cariocabassa it’s not only a European feature.
@@arianahussain9490 I mean some of them really look Europeans Whites...! That's what I meant
@@cariocabassa yeah I see what you mean. I think it’s because they have such a low south Asian gene, which causes them to look more European.

@@superbatman8416 No, I believe in Pakistan media. Small channels have also shown these stories.
