Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I'm surprised they're still surviving in Pakistan.

This was a very impressive slide show. I hope these 3,500 people in the bad lands of Kalash Valley do not suffer at the hands of the fanatical and terrorist mentality that is pervading the fundamentalist Islamists in Pakistan. I hope they can survive and thrive. What an untapped resource to drive toursits and much needed capital for Pakistan. Thanks for sharing this. Nice job!
