Things to Do in Peshawar
Starting points for your perfect trip
Qissa Khwani Bazaar Heritage Walk
Wander the 2,000-year-old Storytellers Bazaar where Silk Road merchants once swapped tales over green tea. Explore lanes of spice vendors, brass workers, and qehwa houses, ending at a century-old tea stall for cardamom-infused qehwa served in hand-painted cups.
Gandhara Art & Takht-i-Bahi
Explore the world’s finest Greco-Buddhist collection at Peshawar Museum—including the famous Fasting Buddha among 14,000 artifacts—then journey 80 km to UNESCO-listed Takht-i-Bahi, a 2,000-year-old hilltop monastery with intact meditation cells and stupa courts.
Namak Mandi Culinary Trail
Taste the birthplace of chapli kebab at legendary Namak Mandi food street. Watch flat beef patties sizzle on iron skillets with pomegranate seeds and tomatoes, sample charsi tikka slow-cooked over wood fire, and finish with Peshawari karahi in traditional copper pots.
Sethi Merchant Mansion Tour
Step inside the restored 19th-century Sethi House where Silk Road traders built mansions with Central Asian woodwork, stained-glass windows, and painted ceilings. Seven interconnected havelis in the Sethi Mohallah tell stories of frontier prosperity and cross-continental trade.
Bala Hisar Fort & Old City Gates
Approach the 92-foot Bala Hisar citadel that has witnessed Mughals, Sikhs, and British pass through its gates since the 6th century. Walk the Old City’s surviving historic gates where 16 entrances once sealed each night to protect the caravanserais within.
Gor Khatri Archaeological Layers
Descend through 2,000 years of layered history at Gor Khatri, where Buddhist stupas lie beneath Hindu temples beneath Mughal caravanserais beneath Sikh-era structures. This single site compresses Peshawar’s entire civilizational story into one excavated complex.
