Khyber Pass - A Road Trip Through History (Khyber, Hamza Baba Mazar, Landikotal, and Buddha Stupa)

This is the video of my recent road trip (December 2019) form Peshawar to Landikotal near Afghanistan Border through the historic Khyber pass. The Khyber Pass is historic treasure of Pakistan located at North Western border with Afghanistan. Khyber Pass is just off the historic city of Peshawar in KPK province of Pakistan. It’s a major trade route between Central Asia and Pakistan. This area has a rich history of about six thousand years old. This area has also seen the death of British and Soviet empires in different eras when they tried to mess with it. Alexander the Great, the Parthians, Kushans and Huns came through this pass into ancient India some 2500 years ago while, The Mahatma Buddha and the great India King Chandragupta also used this path to create their influence outside India. The Muslim conquerors from Arab, Iran and Central Asia also came to India using Khyber Pass over the last 1400 years. The British constructed the railway track through these rugged mountains in about 1890s. The track in marvel of engineering with scores of short and long tunnels though these mountains. The govt. of Pakistan has plans to rebuild the track to increase the tourism in this area. People of the region are extremely hospitable and its extremely safe to go to this area. This region is truly a confluence of Arian and Indian Civilization. In a nutshell, Khyber Pass is a World’s treasurer that need to be seen and preserved.
