A Bagoro (plural form: Bagoreh) is a member of an ethnic group living in the Bagrot and Taisot valley, alongside the banks of river Bagrot, village of Jalaalabad, and in Danyor city.[1] [2]
The group shares the same language, cuisines and traditions.[3]
The word etymologically derives from the word bagharey, meaning "distributors" in the Shina language, as the Bagrot valley was once famous for its agricultural products: crop, fruits and vegetables and its people were famous for their magnanimity and hospitality.[4]
