Explore the Historic Landmarks of Peshawar

• On this tour, your guide will take you to some of the city's most important tourist spots.
• You will start with Mahabat Khan Mosque, which was constructed during the Mughal Dynasty. Its white marble facade is considered one of Peshawar's most iconic sights.
• Then, you will go to Hasting's Memorial, or Chowk Yadgar Monument, originally built in 1883-84 in remembrance of Peshawar's first British Commissioner, Colonel E.C. Hastings. It was rebuilt in the second half of the 1960s to commemorate the heroes of the 1965 Indo-Pak War.
• Your next destination will be the Cunningham Clock Tower, constructed in commemoration of the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. This tower stands in the middle of the city, surrounded by narrow streets, an old fish market, and historic mansions.
• Finally, you will reach the Kapoor Haveli Museum on a narrow street called Dhaki Munawar Shah. It was constructed before the partition of India, between 1918 and 1922, by Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor - the father of Prithviraj Kapoor, a pioneer of Indian theatre and the Hindi film industry.

Know before you go

• According to historians and archaeologists, Peshawar is around 4000 years old. Many rulers and dynasties - from Alexander the Great, the Hindu Shahis, and the Kushans to the Mughals, the Sikhs, and the British - have presided over this city. Peshawar has been plundered many times but regained its vivacity each time, so it is recognised as the 'Oldest Living City' in South Asia.
