Overview
Peshawar is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world — a place where the Silk Road, the Khyber Pass and the Gandhara civilisation converge. The old city's bazaars have been trading since antiquity; the Peshawar Museum holds one of the finest collections of Gandharan Buddhist art in existence; and the UNESCO-listed monastery of Takht-i-Bahi, an hour's drive away, is among the best-preserved Buddhist sites in South Asia. This two-day private tour is an introduction to one of Pakistan's most historically layered cities.
Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Airport or city hotel pickup followed by a morning at Peshawar Museum — one of the finest repositories of Gandharan Buddhist art in the world, with sculptures spanning the 1st to 7th centuries CE. You then walk into the old city: Qissa Khwani Bazaar (the Street of Storytellers, a Silk Road trading hub for centuries), Mahabat Khan Mosque with its painted interior, and Sethi House — a 19th-century merchant mansion with elaborately carved wooden facades (subject to opening hours). A Pashtun lunch featuring local specialities is followed by an afternoon exploring traditional handicrafts and historic neighbourhoods. Dinner and overnight in Peshawar.
