We can also enjoy the Sufi musical night, the flag-lowering ceremony at the Wahga border, the visit to the countryside to witness the true Punjabi culture or the strange jobs of "those who cut hair with fire", street dentist, street doctor, traditional bonesetter or ear cleaner.

We will travel from Lahore to Peshawar. We will cross the impressive Rohtas fort. Days 5 and 6: Time to visit Peshawar, one of the oldest and most traditional cities in the world, we are already in what is known as the “tribal zone” of Pakistan.

Peshawar – Kalash Valleys; We will drive from Peshawar to Kalash valleys. Along the way we will be able to stop in the most authentic Pashtun villages (still monitored by the local police for safety) and we will visit the Buddhist archaeological site in Takhti Bhai. We will rest once in the Rumboor valley. Day 8 and 9: Two full days begin to visit the Rumboor and Bamburate valleys, getting to know the great Kalash culture. It is a mystical animist culture that lives in 3 isolated valleys deep in the Hindukush on the border with Afghanistan. Their origin is uncertain, although they bear similarities to Eastern Europe in their language, colorful clothing and cuisine. They worship the spirits of the Sun and Moon, the Mountains and the forces of Nature. The only place in Pakistan where you can drink wine, made by themselves.

We wake up in Chitral to visit the Chitrali bazaar, the royal fort and the royal mosque. We will drive from Chitral to Islamabad, to rest in the capital on our last night in the country.
