Gate at the start of the Khyber Pass


Gate at the start of the Khyber Pass

Since the Khyber Pass is in the Tribal Area, foreigners are required to get permits and an armed escort. There is a smuggler's bazaar here (for contraband from Afghanistan) and loads of gun shops. There were a lot of people carrying AK-47s.
Here I am posing with our armed soldier and Prince Malik Ullah Khan, a very interesting character and our guide.
