    Respect。Connect。Reflect。 "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." - Henry Miller

    Tucked away in the dramatic mountainous region bordering Afghanistan, the remote Kalash Valleys can only be accessed after winding for hours through sharp turns and bumpy roads. The primary form of communication of the Kalash Valleys to the outside world is, apart from the only TV in the village at the communal teahouse, the donkeys that transport people and commodities to and from the villages. But such isolation is gradually disappearing with introduction of the money economy by homesteaders coming from other parts of Pakistan, which are starting to outnumber the indigenous population.
