8 Things to do Good for Couples in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province That You Shouldn't Miss
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (abbreviated as KP; Urdu: خیبر پختونخوا; Pashto: خیبر پښتونخوا) is one of the four administrative provinces of Pakistan, located in the northwestern region of the country along the international border with Afghanistan. It was previously known as the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) until 2010, and is known colloquially by various other names. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is the third-largest province of Pakistan by the size of both population and economy, though it is geographically the smallest of four. It comprises 10.5% of Pakistan's economy, and is home to 11.9% of Pakistan's total population, with the majority of the province's inhabitants being Pashtuns, Hazarewal, Chitrali, and Kohistanis. The province is the site of the ancient kingdom Gandhara, including the ruins of its capital Pushkalavati near modern-day Charsadda. Originally a stronghold of Hinduism and Buddhism, the history of the region was characterized by frequent invasions under various Empires due to its geographical proximity to the Khyber Pass.

A must do for anyone who visits the area - just 2.5 hours from Islamabad - begin in Dungagali Bazar and ends in Ayubia - 4 kms one way - it’s called the pipeline walk because it traces the route of the water pipeline laid by the British for the area in the early 20th century - don’t forget to look out for the time markets and British Army signias at the Ayubia end of the walk - also has covered benches along the way where one can seat and have a meal The walk has no incline and hence is very easy for people of all ages

Have done this several times Hike is 2-2.5 hours and should be fine and doable if you are fit. Make sure you wear good study shoes, preferably hiking shoes and take a jacket along even in summer. Hike starts from near KP Governor House and goes up around 2,000 feet. You go through some very dense forest and some of the hike particularly at the end is steep. Pack a light meal and biscuits and water. A hat or a cap and sunblock will come in handy because at the height (2900 metres) the sun can be harsh on a summer day. The weather can change all of a sudden so be prepared. A walking stick can also be very useful for support. On a clear day you can see as far north as the majestic Nanga Parbat (which is some 90-100 miles to the northeast)

This is the main kalash valley, & the biggest one, it is about 2 hours from Ayun Village by jeep or 3.5 hours from Chitral. The road to the Valley is dirt/rocky & jeepable with narrow turns at some places. Once you reach the valley it opens up & is beautiful with river running on one side & lusg green fields/high mountains /fruit trees & alpine trees. There is a good Museum about Kalash culture, it charges minimal Rs. 5 for Pakistani & Rs.2000 for Non pakistani, & also charges extra to take pictures. PTDC motel is the BEST option IF one intends to stay over night which offers clean rooms & good food. Unfortunately due to the invasion of NON LOCALS with beards the Kalash culture is under severe threat & is hanging by a thin thread. Kalash people are very open & welcoming, there are several gift shops in the valley which sells very colourful & Beautiful local hand made handicraft at very reasonable price. There is a temple as well as well as centuries old grave yard worth seeing, as well as typical Kalash homes are worth seeing. HIGHLY RECOMMED to go visit BEFORE THIS CULTURE WHICH IS FOUND NO WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD DISAPPEARS.

Went to Kalaam after almost a decade. Roads are in excellent condition. Took Swat Motorway towards Chakdara from M1. At Shamozai bridge took the Matta Road and reached Kalam via Madyan and Bahrain. From Peshawar it’s a 270 km journey and takes 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Road condition is good except for heavy traffic near Matta region. There was a huge crowd despite snow fall. Kalam and surrounding areas are bestowed with natural beauty with river running with pristine water and is surrounded by lush green mountains with pine trees. I summer you can also visit Ushu forest, Mahodand lake and Shahi Bagh. Except for being overcrowded, it’s a great valley to visit.
