Crowded minibus to Peshawar


Crowded minibus to Peshawar

From Islamabad, I took at 80 Rs, 2-hour minibus ride to Peshawar. There were 20 people crammed in this minibus. Peshawar means "frontier town" which is exactly what is was back in the Mughal period. It continues to be an outpost near the tribal areas that do not fall under Pakistani law. It is filled with interesting bazaars and is the access point to Afghanistan via the famed Khyber Pass.
