 Landi
Kotal or Landikotal
in Pakistan is the
highest point on the
celebrated Khyber
Pass, a prominent
route across the
mountains from the
near-border city,
Peshawar. Landi
Kotal is quite a
popular tourist
destination, often
traveled to by train
or road from
elsewhere in
Pakistan, or by road
from the Afghanistan
border just five
kilometers to the
west.
It is the living
place for clans of
the Afridi tribe,
namely Zakha khel
(as common) Wali
Khel, Sultan Khel,
etc. Its people live
totally in villages
built on mountains.
Two large villages
are Zintara (Chinar
Kaley)---which is
famous for a very
long and tall wall
built for ensuring
its safety---and
Ayub Kale, famous in
the region for its
modernity. It was
constructed by a
billionaire of
Khyber Agency. |
