Bumburet (Kalasha: Mumuret, Urdu: وادی بمبوریت, also spelt Bumboret[1] or Bumburait) is the largest valley of Kalasha Desh in Lower Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.[2] It is one of the three valleys of Kalasha Valleys and a tourist destination in the northern Pakistan.[3][4]
The Bumburet Valley joins the Rumbur Valley from the south (at Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found., 1,600 metres (5,200 ft)), and then joins the Kunar Valley at the village of Ayun (at Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found., 2288 meters), some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south (downstream) of Chitral. To the west the valley rises to a pass connecting to Afghanistan's Nuristan Province at about 4,500 metres (14,800 ft).[5][better source needed] Lying in the Hindu Kush mountain range, the area features streams, meadows and agricultural fields with walnut and apricot trees.[3] The valley is inhabited primarily by the Kalash people, and has become a tourist destination. There is an archaeology museum, Kalasha Dur Museum, in the valley.[3][6]
Much of the infrastructure of the region was destroyed by the floods during July – August 2015 triggered by heavy rainfalls and glacial outburst.[7][6] The ruined areas were visited by the British royals, Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales on their tour of Pakistan in October 2019.[8]
