The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan
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.

Well its such a remarkable historical place to visit. With great exterior and Well maintained interior its also the work place of armed officials. Except for some restricted areas public can visit rest of the fort. One can read historical notes also which are present in fort. There is a museum as well with pictures of well known political personalities and historical facts written too. One can see the wonderful view of Peshawar City specially Qissa Khawani bazar from rooftop of Fort.

Kumrat, a beautiful spot near Dir is accessible by road lined with interesting views. People are friendly.Islamabad to Chakdara is through motorway (190 km, 2 1/2 hours). On towards Dir road is metalled, good for cars (105 km, 3 hours). 10 km short of Dir, we turn right, (Baab-e-Kumraat). Sheringal (35 km, 2 hours) road is broken metalled road. Sheringal to Thal, dirt track worse, but travelable with car (20 km, 1 1/2 hours). Dirt track leading to Kumrat Valley is aound 30 km, is more difficult. (doable with regular 2WD; 4WD is better option). Kumrat Valley has a flowing river, relatively wide valley, with rocky mountains, and lower slopes are covered with evergreen trees: the bare peeks have beautiful golden shine in the after noon. The track is not dangerous....doable during day or night, and any weather. Fuel is available up to Thal. A beautiful water fall over a single large rock, in Kumrat is popular tourist destination. Water crossing towards the end of Kumrat is the final interest. Jungle tracks and meadows abound, are good for walking along. Hotels, Tent Camps, Free Camping areas are available all along the dirt track. The people are very friendly and will help any one and all. Sleeping in own tent is a very good option. The weather is mild... there is snowfall in the winter, but the road remains open. Still, good weather is from late May till early September Read less Date of experience: September 2019 This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC Helpful mafzaalwrote a review Sep 2019 Lahore, Pakistan18 contributions13 helpful votes Kumrat valley upper dir pakistan Visited kumrat valley with friends in May 2019.we go there by car via Mardan .Malakand.Chakdara.Sharingle and parked our car at a petrol pump before Tall.we hired a jeep for kumrat valley because road is not good.Kumrat valley is a heaven on earth.Beautiful plains.
