Pakistan City Guide – Karachi, Lahore. Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Quetta

Introduction

The Capital and the largest city of the North West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P), Peshawar, has enjoyed tremendous historical, Military and political importance because of the Khyber Pass which has been a vintage point as a gateway for invaders of the sub-continent.
Peshawar derives its name from a Sanskrit word 'Pushpapura', meaning the city of flowers. Peshawar's flowers were even mentioned in Mughal Emperor Babur's memoirs.

Area and Population

It has an area of 1257 sq. km and a population of about 950,000 souls. The N.W.F.P capital is divided into three sections, the old city, cantonment and a modern residential area.

Climate

Khyber Pass

Its climate and weather conditions are regraded as the Pakistan's healthiest climate. With average temperatures of 30-35 C, Peshawar is one the popular tourist attraction site around the year.

Culture

Peshawar specialty is the Chappli Kabab (a spicy beef burger mixed with tomato, corn flour, green chilies and eggs) served on naan (unleaved bread) which acts as edible plate.

Qehwa Khana, a traditional teashop, is totally heaven for the weary travelers for providing relief. One definitely come across the Qehwa Khana on longer routes or inside the Peshawar city.

The style, the decor, the hookas (smoking pipes), and brass samovars with colorful China teapots and small bowls of matching colors would be same at all Qehwa Khana. The tea is served steaming hot, without milk, as it is not the usual black type but has leaves of bottle green color which gives it its name green tea.
