📍 Destination Overview
Peshawar lies in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border, capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and one of South Asia's oldest cities, the gateway to the Khyber Pass and Afghanistan. Steeped in Pashtun culture, its Qissa Khwani bazaar carries on Silk Road trade; Takht-i-Bahi ruins and famed Buddha carvings recall Gandharan civilization, with chapli kebab adding flavor.
