Brier lies at the southernmost tip of Chitral at a distance of 34 km (21 miles) and is easily accessible by jeep-able road via Ayun. It is especially ideal for those not used to trekking. Bumborit is the largest and most picturesque valley of the Kafir Kalash, is 36 km. (22 miles) from Chitral and is connected by a jeep-able road. 

These valleys have an alpine climate. The people inhabiting these valleys are the primitive pagan tribes of Pakistan, who are known as Kafir Kalash, which means the wearers of the black robes.
