Legend says that some soldiers of Alexander the great settled in Chitral and raised their families through inter marriages with the local population. Kafir-Kalash are thus their direct descendants. Kafir-Kalash live in the valley of Birir, Bamburet and Rambur, south of Chitral. Bamburet, the largest and the most picturesque valley, inhabited by Kalash, is 40 Kilometers from Chitral and is connected by a Jeepable road.

Besides, amenities like Rent-a-Jeep, telephone, Satellite TV and laundry are available. Rama Lake Motel lies at a distance of 120 kilometers from Gilgit, where regular transport service is available on hire.
