" I believe culture is a living bridge between people, carrying the wisdom of the past into the future. Through my poetry and tourism initiatives in Chitral and the Kalash Valley, I strive to celebrate diversity, foster dialogue, and protect heritage. The Millennium Fellowship will give me the platform, skills, and global network to transform these efforts into sustainable, far-reaching impact—connecting communities across borders while advancing the UNAI principles and SDGs.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Qashqar Tour & Travel
As my project is called Qashqar Tour & Travel. Its something really close to my heart. I hope this project helps people to discover the beauty, culture and traditions of Chitral especially Kalash Valley. We want to show others what makes these places so special - from stunning mountains and peaceful villages to the unique festivals and lifestyle of kalash people. Its not just a business but its all about sharing real experiences and encouraging respectful tourism.
