Afghanistan from the Khyber Pass, would be off limits these days, I should think!!
What a marvellous engineering feat this was.Tunnels for trains, the winding road, and always a Fort on top. My husband's g/father was here in the 1890's.

On the way to the Khyber Pass. Typical scene, old forts, and walled houses, with lookouts. Several families live in these, and they come complete with gardens, where they grow veges or whatever they can in this dry place.

Peshawar is famous for its handicrafts and cottage industry products. Copper jars and cups, brass trays and samovars, bellied brass water jars and pots, Chitral daggers and tribal knives, exquisite ivory products and carved-wood pieces,rare rugs and carpets, silk scarves and Kashmir shawls. There is so much to buy and one buys so much. I promise to myself, I will buy on my way back to home....yes another 5 years to go !!

The Khyber bazaar, is full of doctors, dentist and lawyers, you just can't
miss the dentist as you can see their big billboards where they are advertising with giant dentures. This is also the departure place for the busses to the Khyber Pass and Kohat.

	Khyber Pass: Khyber PassThis is the road... Tip Rating:

Khyber Pass
This is the road from Peshawar to Kabul in Afghanistan, is one of the highlights of this region.

The people who live along this Khyber Pass are the Phanthans (also called Pushtuns or Puktuns). These combative Phanthans have always considered themselves as a special race, a chosen people. They never were beaten; no one ever managed to subject them. The Mongols, the Afghans, The Sikhs, the British and the Russians, thy all had the worst of it. Our guide described the Phanthans as aggressively elegant, colourfully attired, hospitable and considerate, fierce in enmity, kind in friendship, and a strongly self-possessed people who are punctilious over religion yet fond of pleasure.
This legendary Pass has played an important role on the trading roads from India via Pakistan to Afghanistan and Persia.

Along the pass we see men smuggling bicycles, these bikes will be sold in Pakistan soon. It is a kind of funny view as these bikes are only partly unpacked, they unpack them just enough so one can ride with it.

The Khyber Pass railway goes through 30 tunnels and crosses 92 bridges but nowadays it can be used only for a small part because the rails are gone
due to landslides.
