Bumburet (Kalasha: Mumuret, Urdu: وادی پمپوریت) is the largest valley of Kalasha Desh in Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
The Bumburet valley joins the Rumbur valley at 35°44′20″N 71°43′40″E / 35.73889°N 71.72778°E (1640 m), and then joins the Kunar Valley at the village of Ayun (35°42′52″N 71°46′40″E / 35.71444°N 71.77778°E, 1400 m), some 20 km south (downstream) of Chitral. To the west the valley rises to a pass connecting to Afghanistan's Nuristan Province at about 4500 m.
The valley is inhabited by the Kalash people, and has become a tourist destination.[1]
