Overview
Peshawar, guarding the approach to the Khyber Pass, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in South Asia, a place of storytellers’ bazaars (Qissa Khwani), the Mahabat Khan Mosque, Sethi Havelis and an atmosphere found nowhere else in Pakistan. Paired with Lahore, via Islamabad and Taxila, it makes a rich Grand Trunk Road heritage journey.
Peshawar has a distinct security profile that fluctuates, so we monitor travel advisories closely and plan responsibly, recommending only what’s currently sensible, with experienced local arrangements. Priced on request.
