Who they are

The Ashkuni Nuristanis inhabit remote and rugged valleys in eastern Afghanistan. Historically known for their independence and unique culture in the Hindu Kush mountains, they preserve ancestral customs and speak the Ashkun language. They live mainly by herding and farming on steep slopes, maintaining strong community ties and family loyalties.
