Peshawar, the capital of North Western Frontier, tantalises the traveler with romance courage and adventure. Its unique character makes it look like a picturesque backdrop, of a dramatic ambient description, straight out of a story book. Its distinct atmosphere is enhanced by the aromatic steaming samovars dispensing tea into tiny enameled pots. Brought to prominence as the winter capital of Kushan, the city suffered heavily, under a stream of invading armies, until the Mughals arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. They beautified Peshawar with gardens, mosques and monuments serve as a visual delight, creating a magnetic attraction for the tourist seeking a glimpse of bygone era.
Peshawar is a city for the truly intrepid. Whether standing awestruck in front of an old mosque or wandering through fabled bazaars � be prepared for a warm-hearted welcome, and expect the unexpected.
