Landi Kotal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landi Kotal or Landikotal (Urdu: لنڈی کوتل) in Pakistan is the highest point on the celebrated Khyber Pass, a prominent route across the mountains from the near-border city, Peshawar. Landi Kotal is quite a popular tourist destination, often traveled to by train or road from elsewhere in Pakistan, or by road from the Afghanistan border just five kilometers to the west.
It is the living place for clans of the Afridi tribe, namely Zakha khel (as common) Wali Khel, Sultan Khel, etc. Its people live totally in villages built on mountains. Two large villages are Zintara (Chinar Kaley)---which is famous for a very long and tall wall built for ensuring its safety---and Ayub Kale, famous in the region for its modernity. It was constructed by a billionaire of Khyber Agency.
