What to do and see in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan: The Best Walking Tours

March 13, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

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.

If you are planning a big project in Pakistan I definetly recommend this agency! During our trip we had many logistical problems caused by the strong winter 2018/19. Hunza Guides solved all of them efficiently. The kitchen staff were magicans that served the best imagineable service! I'm looking forward to my next adventure organized by Hunza Guides. Without the brilliant work of Amir, his brothers and sons, our guide/BC manager Sahid and the staff our expedition wouldn't have been successfull... that's for sure!
