The beautiful people of Kalash

Not too long ago, I first read about a small tribe of people called the "Kalash" who reside in the valleys of Hindu Kush, Pakistan. By the looks, it would be difficult for one to determine the origin of this intriguing civilization. Some claim they are descendants of Alexander the Great himself, however, DNA testing has shown little contribution from the Greeks and it seems as though they are an aboriginal people. When I first read about them and heard about their pagan culture, I was highly impressed. A small population with such contrasting identities to their host nation have found a piece of heaven for themselves and have survived for centuries. Here are a few pictures of the Kalash people and some of their handicrafts. It will give the reader an idea of how colorful their culture is.
