    I love museums and this gem is no exception. Housed in an old British building, the collection spans across the people who live in the area. A very strong Buddhist collection.

    Plan to spend the day.

    The best part of Khyber Pass is yet to come. The military there is developing a series of museums at the colonial area mountain posts of Ali Masjid, Landikotal and Michni.

    It gets hot in summers, try getting there in Spring time or winters.

    Fascinating. You can visit two houses, one is informal and the tour given by family members who still live there. However, one house is a formal museum and has been expertly renovated and the director gives excellent and comprehensive tours in English if need be. You’ll pay extra for taking photos but it’s worth it.

    Cunnighum clock Tower is one of the British monument in peshawar, this mémorandum was constructed in 1900 on the occasion of diamond jubilee ceremony of the Queen. It was names after sir Jhon Cunnighum, who was a British official in peshawar.
    Clock Tower is sorrounded by fish market, this is under the supervision of Archealogy department but owned by Auqaf department.
    One can visit this place anytime but to go inside of the tower one need permission from the authority. The clock still works, the building is 80 feet tall made of red bricks.

    The majestic mountains of Hindukush offer great views along with trekking/climbing to adventure lovers.
    These treks could be followed in Chitral and I'd recommend Terichmir base camp in Chitral.
