Discover the Rich Tapestry of Peshawar with Hunza Explorers

Nestled as the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar beckons as a city steeped in history, culture, and ancient charm. As the sixth-largest city in Pakistan and the largest Pashtun-majority city, Peshawar’s story unfolds in the shadows of the historic Khyber Pass, near the Afghan border.

Boasting a recorded history dating back to at least 539 BCE, Peshawar proudly stands as one of the oldest cities in South Asia. Once known as Purushpura, the capital of the Kushan Empire, and later traversing the rule of Hephthalites, Hindu Shahis, Muslim invaders, Mughals, Pashtun Durrani Empire, Sikh Empire, and the British Indian Empire, Peshawar’s narrative is as diverse as its cultural heritage.

Derived from the Sanskrit word “Purushapura,” meaning “City of Men” or “City of Purusha,” Peshawar’s name echoes its historical significance. Embracing the linguistic shifts over the centuries, the city’s modern identity is a testament to its enduring legacy.

As we embark on the Peshawar City Tour, curated by Hunza Explorers, let the ancient walls and vibrant streets narrate tales of empires, trade, and cultural exchange. Join us in unraveling the layers of Peshawar’s past and present, where every step echoes with the whispers of time.
