What to do and see in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

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.

This is very near to Nathia Gali near about 2 km. Hotels around the spot are very nice but expensive as well as restaurants but very good weather and views of high pine trees. You must visit if you are in Nathia Gali.
