Day 2 | Gandhara & Northern Trail
We spent the morning exploring the incredible Taxila Museum, home to thousands of Gandharan Buddhist statues, relics, coins, inscriptions and everyday objects excavated from ancient sites across the valley — a true window into history.
After travelling along the Grand Trunk Road, we reached Attock Khurd (1908) and witnessed the stunning confluence of the Attock and Indus Rivers. Our gracious hosts, Brigadier & Mrs. Asim Nawaz, welcomed us into their ancestral riverside home where we enjoyed authentic regional cuisine and a peaceful walk through olive, peach and cherry plantations.
We concluded our journey in Peshawar, the vibrant capital of KPK, with a serene evening at the home of Dr. Amir Bilal and Dr. Tahira Nishtar — a couple whose grace and dedication truly inspired us.
