Peshawar is the home of
the proud race of the Pathans. The city with its bazaars reminds
of the days of the carava  n
traders. One of the prime attractions of the tour is the visit
to the Khyber Pass, the passage used by invaders and migrants
from Central Asia to India.
The next point is the Swat Valley - the heartland of Gandhara
period of the Buddhist history. Taking the Karakoram Highway
alongside the mighty Indus River one can get to Gilgit and
Hunza - the lost kingdom of Shangri-La described by James
Hilton in his book 'Lost Horizon'. Hunza has seen much of
history yet it offers tranquility and peace. People of Hunza
are for their longevity and friendliness. |
