8Days

Early to mid-December

Please contact us
The Kalash Valley in early December, after all the harvests have been gathered and the livestock have come down from the mountains, sees the start of rituals which welcome the Kalash god Balimain. The ceremony includes a rite of passage, a purification ritual, and an offering to the gods, and the climax features the farewell to Balimain, complete with torches and a large bonfire. This is a special trip that will allow you to get a glimpse into a deep, living faith and its rituals.
