    Among the high altitudes of Karakorum, Himalayas and Hindukush mountain ranges in northern Pakistan, there lies a land of rugged barren huge mountains, with lush-green fields in the district of Chitral, usually known as KALASH. A home of Kafirs. This is how people around Kalash refer to that beautiful place. Kalash is a lush green valley comprising of many more hidden valleys in it. It is a commonly known valley among the people of Pakistan, but very few know the traditional, religious, cultural and ethical norms of the people of Kalash. The life pattern of local people is worth viewing as they form a unique aesthetics of their living style. The people are disconnected from Chitral as well as major other parts of Pakistanand are facing serious threats because of being a minority in Pakistan. They live, work, eat, and drink, on their own inside the valleys of Kalash and form a unique living. A unique style of living is being practiced there since many years, and no new dimensions of life are known to this wonderful green historic valley. They celebrate in huge amount and gather a huge number of tourists from abroad and locally as well. They celebrate through festivals commonly known worldwide. Kalash in all the mix-up is lacking behind due to poor, facilitation and governance. This project comprises of study of Kalash valley, their culture and their needs which will result in master planning of a tourism complex that contains residences, hotels, and restaurants with added facilities of a cultural complex that can cater the world famous cultural events of the Kalasha people. All this will be done keeping in view the ethical needs of the people of Kalash and the climate, material and structure of the present-day society.
