Sexually liberated women, colorful clothes and lots of festivals -- happiness comes easy to this animist tribe living in Chitral
Gul Sayed, 25, sports a grin a mile wide as she hugs me, a lone foreigner in her home.
She is a member of the Kalasha, a peace-loving pagan tribe living in the remote villages that lie between Northern Pakistan?s Chitral Valley and the Afghan border.
She?s dressed in a black robe embroidered with rainbow threads, a beaded headdress adorned with cowrie shells and colorful necklaces.
Rumour has it the blue-eyed, fair-skinned Kalasha are the descendants of the armies of Alexander the Great. But unlike their putative bellicose ancestors, the country?s smallest minority group -- numbering around 3,000 -- prefers to make love, not war.
