The most complete Buddhist monastery in Pakistan founded in the 1st century.
Reviewed By flyfisher66 - Islamabad, Pakistan
Takht-i-Bahi (The Throne of Bahi) is one of the most well preserved Budhist monasteries in Pakistan. Located 17 km from Mardan on hill, this monastery was founded in 1st century and remained an important Budhist educational and cultural center for many centuries. Many of the rooms and buildings inside the monastery are still quite well preserved though mosto f the relics and statues have been taken away over a period of time. It's a full day visit if you are going from Islamabad but monastery itself is a couple of hours event.

Only an hour away from Rawalpindi this place is certainly worth visiting. Getting there is little tricky it worth following google maps. If you have a 4wd, use the walk option as it will take you the shorter way.
